The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Shooting Gallery.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch with almost no surf worth paddling out for. From now until around the 19th of September, it’s all small, weak, and messy. Winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping everything choppy and lumpy. You’ll see heights bouncing between 1.0ft and 5ft, but the energy just isn't there, with combined swell energy values sitting between 58 and 480 – mostly weak to moderate. It’s not going to be pretty.
Then things finally start to turn around. On Sunday, the 20th of September, we get a little glimpse of hope. The morning looks promising with a glassy 3ft swell from the NNW, period at 14 seconds, and combined energy at 426 – that's moderate energy, but that long period means it could be fun if it hits the reef right. Winds are glassy, so the surface will be clean. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a while.
The real standout, if you can wait, is Tuesday the 22nd of September. The morning sees a 3ft NNW swell, with a solid 13-second period and combined energy jumping to 412. That’s moderate energy, and with a light cross-onshore breeze, it’s manageable. But it’s the afternoon that has me a little more interested – a 3ft swell, period stretching to 15 seconds, and combined energy at 435. That’s a very long period groundswell, which can be a bit straight for beach breaks, but Shooting Gallery is a reef, so that long-period energy could wrap in nicely. The only letdown is the cross-onshore wind, but if it cleans up, it could be worth a session.
Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so don’t expect to have it to yourself. The water temp is about average for this time of year, sitting around 75°F, so nothing unusual there.
After that, the energy fades again. We get a few more small, glassy mornings around the 24th and 27th, but the swell drops right off. By the 28th, it’s tiny with barely any energy. All in all, if you’re patient, the 22nd is your best bet, but don’t hold your breath for anything epic.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
