The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Alright, let’s be honest – the next 16 days are a total bust for Shooting Gallery. Every single session in the forecast is poor quality, so don’t hold your breath. From now through to Monday the 10th of August, there’s really nothing worth paddling out for.
The only time it even looks close to interesting is the afternoon of Saturday the 8th of August, with a combined swell energy of 799 (moderate) and a 9-second period from the NE at about 5ft. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the north at 25 km/h (about 16 mph), and it’s still rated as messy. That’s the best we get – and it’s still not good. It’s a size that’s expert-only, but the quality is just not there.
Sunday the 9th of August morning shows 6ft from the N with 566 energy (moderate), again cross-onshore and choppy. Monday the 10th of August has similar numbers (6ft, NNE, 8 seconds, 530 energy), same wind, same problem. None of it is clean.
Water temp at the start is about 72°, which is around normal for the time of year – just a touch warmer than average.
Shooting Gallery is a consistent reef break that likes swell from the NNW. But with northerly winds blowing cross-onshore every session, the surf stays lumpy and choppy. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the entire forecast window.
So it’s a long, flat, messy run. Sometimes it just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
