The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut it straight: the next two weeks are mostly a rough go for clean waves at Shooting Gallery. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions from now through the whole run, with just one late-period window that might get you excited.
The main problem is a stubborn northerly wind pattern that’s got the ocean all torn up. The swell shows up pretty consistently – never totally flat – but the quality is junk. From Tuesday 25 August morning, we’re looking at 5ft of NNW groundswell with a 10-second period, but that moderate breeze from the NNE has it messy and hard to ride (combined energy 419). That’s moderate energy, but the wind state is all over it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Through the rest of August and into early September, everything stays choppy and lumpy. The swell height bounces between 2ft and 6ft, and the period hangs mostly in the 6–11 second range, but it’s all cross-onshore or onshore. The winds are moderate to fresh breezes from the NNE or N, so forget about any glassy moments. There’s a jump in combined energy up to 936 on Saturday 29 August morning (moderate-strong energy) with 6ft of N swell at 11 seconds, but it’s buried under a fresh cross-onshore breeze.
Then around 7–8 September, we get a shift. A long-period WNW groundswell rolls in, 14-second period, with swell heights of 3ft to 4ft. The combined energy spikes to 983 on 8 September morning (strong energy). The wind is still cross-on from the north, so it won’t be perfect, but this is the standout window. That long-period groundswell with that much energy could set up at Shooting Gallery (a reef setup), delivering some proper lines – though with the wind side-on, expect some bump. This is your best shot, and it’s over a week away (7–9 September). Keep an eye on it.
So, honestly, there’s only one real highlight: the long-period WNW pulse early in the second week. The rest is a long dry spell of messy, lumpy conditions. Surf’s not dead, just sleeping.
Rusty out.

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.
