Right, let's cut through the bogus. We're looking at a 16-day forecast and, truth be told, there's bugger-all worth paddling for. The first decent bump doesn't even show up until July 14th, and even then, it comes with baggage.
Shooting Gallery is an intermediate reef that normally holds a bit of swell, but it's been starved. From now until July 13th, we're talking tiny, weak waves—wave energy readings are mostly double digits and never strong. The wind is always cross-shore or cross-onshore, meaning the surface is choppy, lumpy, and pretty frustrating. The only pulse worth noting is around Tuesday July 14th, when a 4 ft N swell rolls in (combined energy of 313). But that's ruined by a fresh cross-onshore breeze blowing at 19 mph. If you're an expert and you really need a paddle, you might find a few, but it'll be a battle.
The second week is more of the same. By July 17th and 18th, the swell sticks around 5 ft from the N, but the wind stays cross-onshore at 16–19 mph. Energy readings sit in the 200s and 300s (moderate), but the quality is shot. Honestly, this whole period looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The reef's there, the swell direction's okay, but the wind just kills it.
No standouts. No reason to get wet. Sometimes the forecast is just honest: stay on the beach.

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.
