The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a 16-day window on the table, but honestly, it’s a tough one for paddling. The first week is a write-off. From Monday 7th September right through to the weekend of the 12th and 13th, the wind is consistently cross-on or onshore, chopping up whatever swell is trying to show. The swell is there, between 2ft and 5ft, mostly from the north, but the breeze is just ruining it. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Monday 14th September.
The standout session is the morning of Monday 14th September. That’s the one to circle. Shooting Gallery (reef) will see a clean 3ft NW swell with a lovely 13-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a rare moment in this outlook. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°. The combined energy is moderate at 318. It’s a consistent reef break, so you’ll get waves. It can get crowded here sometimes, so expect company for that glassy morning. The swell direction is NNW, which is the optimum direction for the spot, so it’ll line up nicely.
After that morning glass, the wind swings back to cross-on in the afternoon, and the rest of the week is a battle with moderate to fresh breezes and choppy conditions. The swell sticks around 2ft to 4ft, mostly short period around 7-8 seconds, which is just not fun on the cross-wind.
Into the second week, from the 18th onwards, it’s more of the same struggle. The energy drops off, especially around the 21st and 22nd, where the combined energy falls to 97 and 89, which is weak. The wind is never really offshore. There’s no other standout to mention. It’s a long, poor run.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got a flexible schedule, hold out for the morning of Monday 14th September. That’s your best chance for a clean, proper surf. The rest of the period is mostly for the windsurfers.
Rusty.

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.
