The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the cards for Shooting Gallery over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty grim run here. The whole 16-day stretch is a write-off for quality surf. The swell is small and weak, mostly under 3 ft with a short, choppy period, and the wind is a persistent problem. To start with, we've got onshore winds straight from the NE, which is just making a mess of things. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking 83 (83) on Tuesday the 14th, and it just gets eaten up by the breeze.
This pattern sticks around for days. We're looking at a gap of poor surf with no real recommendation until maybe the 23rd of July. On Thursday the 23rd, the swell finally bumps up a bit to 6 ft from the N, but it's still cross-onshore. The energy is climbing into the moderate range (349), but the quality is shot. The period is only 8 seconds, so it's just a messy wind-swell.
Later on, there's a bit more size in the water, like on Sunday the 26th of July, with swell hitting 6 ft from the N and energy hitting 539 (539). But again, the wind is a fresh cross-onshore breeze, 18 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. It's unrideable for a clean surf. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.
The only real stand-out thing is the size later in the run. By Tuesday the 28th of July, we're looking at 6 ft swell from the N with a solid 9-second period and energy of 744 (744). That's got some punch, but the wind is still cross-onshore and lumpy. At 6 ft, it's pushing into the "experts only due to the conditions" territory, but with the wind so bad, it's more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.
For a clean, glassy wave, there's just nothing on offer. The wind is relentless, and the swell direction never matches the optimum NNW for this reef. Save your energy on this one.
Rusty.

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.
