The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly mate, the outlook for Shooting Gallery over the next 16 days is a bit of a downer. There’s surf on the horizon, but the conditions just aren’t playing ball. We’ve got a stretch of poor surf quality that kicks off Wednesday the 26th of August and drags on for the whole first week and beyond. The wind is almost always cross-onshore, the sea state is choppy or lumpy, and the forecast scores are flat. There isn't a single standout session to get excited about.
Let’s start from Wednesday morning, 26th August, with a weak 3ft swell from N, period a short 8 seconds, and a cross-onshore breeze. The wave energy is weak at 125, and the surf is poor. That theme sticks through Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th. Friday afternoon sees the swell nudge up to 6ft from NNE, period still short, and the energy jumps to 315, but the fresh cross-onshore wind just kills it.
Saturday the 29th is the biggest pulse of the run. Morning shows a 6ft NNE swell with period jumping to 11 seconds and a strong energy reading of 903. That’s a decent amount of juice, but again, the wind is onshore and conditions are unknown. By afternoon, it’s still 6ft but back to cross-onshore and choppy. The wind, the direction—it’s just not coming together for clean waves at this reef.
From there, we settle into a long run of moderate swell, mostly between 3ft and 5ft, with that persistent cross-onshore wind. The energy dips and climbs but never breaks through into really good quality. Even when the wind lightens a touch, like on the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September, the swell is 4ft from N and still cross-onshore.
By Wednesday the 9th of September, the swell drops to 2ft from NNW with a longer period of 10 seconds, but the energy is still moderate at 230, and the wind is still not offshore. It’s a consistent but messy picture overall.
If you absolutely had to pick a session, the Saturday the 29th of August morning has the biggest swell energy (903), but that unknown wind state is a gamble. There is no standout here; no glassy morning, no perfect offshore wind. This stretch is best left alone for paddle surfing.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Shooting Gallery may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
