The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the 16-day window at Shooting Gallery is a tough one. The swell shows up, but the wind and conditions just won’t play ball. The water’s sitting at 73°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a small comfort.
The first real surf recommendation kicks off on Monday, July 13th. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the NNW with a 9-second period, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” The combined energy is moderate at 172 (moderate wave energy). This pattern pretty much holds all week. The swell stays small, rarely pushing above 3ft, and the wind is a constant cross-onshore from the north or northeast. The best you can hope for is a bit of a clean-up on the Wednesday morning, July 22nd, when the swell hits 4ft from the N with an 8-second period, and the wind finally goes glassy (on). The energy is moderate at 224 (moderate wave energy). But it’s still called “poor surf conditions.” Even the bigger swells later in the window, like the 6ft on Sunday, July 26th, and the 5ft on Tuesday, July 28th, are ruined by cross-onshore winds. The energy on the 28th hits 387 (strong wave energy), but the wind is fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and mostly a kite-surfing show. There’s no standout session here. The whole 16 days is a write-off for paddle surfing. The best call is to wait for a forecast change. It can’t stay this poor for long.
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.
