The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Shooting Gallery for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim start. We’ve got a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds out of the north that’s going to keep the surf messy and lumpy all the way until the morning of Wednesday, 9th September. That’s a good week-plus of poor surf. The water is sitting at 76°F, which is much warmer than average for this time of year, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you’re watching the junk roll in.
Your first real chance for a surf comes on Wednesday morning, 9th September. The swell is tiny, only about 2ft from the NNW, which is the optimum direction for this spot. The period is a long 10 seconds. The big win here is the wind – a light 6 mph breeze from the WNW, and it’s cross-offshore. That means clean, glassy conditions. The combined swell energy is weak at 88. It won’t be big, but it’ll be lined up and clean on the reef. That’s your window. With that long period, you’ll get a bit more shape and some proper gaps between sets, making the paddle out easier.
After that, it’s back to cross-on winds through the rest of the outlook. A bigger pulse of swell shows up around Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, with waves building to 5ft from the north. But that north wind is still there at 12 mph, making it choppy and ugly. The energy gets moderate, hitting 448 on the 12th morning, but it’s not going to be fun to surf.
So, the one true standout is the morning of Wednesday, 9th September. Small, clean, and your best bet. The rest of the window? Not much to get excited about.
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.
