Table - best surf conditions forecast for Shooting Gallery over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again, let’s break it down in feet and degrees, old school style.
First off, don’t expect much for the next few days. The first surf that’s even worth mentioning is on Sunday, July 12th, so you’re lookin’ at about a five-day stretch of flat water.
The best action in this whole 16-day window kicks off that Sunday afternoon at Shooting Gallery (reef, consistent, fairly exposed). Swell from the NW around 4ft with a period close to 9 seconds, giving moderate wave energy (180). Wind is cross-on from the north at about 12 mph, so it’ll be a bit chopped up, but at least there’s something to push you around. Water temp is 72°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year – comfortable enough.
Things start to build through the week. On Thursday, July 16th, morning, we see a jump to about 6ft from the NNE with a 6-second period and energy hitting 249 – solid moderate power, but that short period means it’ll be a bit dumpy and fat. That size is edging into expert territory. Wind is onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, so not pristine.
By Saturday, July 18th, afternoon, we’ve got 5ft from the north at 7 seconds, energy at 270. Still not clean – cross-on north wind at 15 mph.
Honestly, the whole run has cross-on or onshore wind. No glassy mornings, no light offshore. The swell direction is mostly north to north-northeast, which isn’t the perfect angle for Shooting Gallery (NNW is the ticket). But it’s a consistent reef break, so if you don’t mind a bit of chop, you’ll get wet from the 12th onward. No real standout sessions, but at least the water’s moving.
Rusty.

Information about the Shooting Gallery Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Shooting Gallery provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Shooting Gallery can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Shooting Gallery surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Shooting Gallery) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
