The Lowdown

Alright, let me tell ya, it's a tough stretch ahead for Shooting Gallery. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you – there's no real standout session in here. The pattern is pretty grim, with a lot of wind-affected, choppy conditions and only a fleeting moment of something that might be rideable.

We start off the forecast period on Tuesday, September 8th, with a 4ft north swell at 8 seconds. The wind is onshore, and the water is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. But the vibe is "poor surf conditions" and a score of zero. This continues right through the week. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are all a write-off – onshore and cross-onshore winds from the north, blasting the surface into a mess. The swell is there, around 3ft to 5ft, but it's short-period and the wind just ruins it. The combined energy on Saturday morning hits 436 (moderate energy), but it doesn't matter with that 16 mph cross-onshore wind.

Sunday, September 13th, is a little tease. The morning has a 4ft north swell with a light 6 mph cross-onshore breeze. It's still not great, but at least you can paddle out. The energy is 268 (moderate). The report calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions", so you'd be scratching for a wave.

Now, here's the one moment that's worth a mention. On Monday morning, September 14th, we get a window. The swell drops to 2ft, but it's from the NNW with a 13-second period – that's a nice long-period groundswell. The wind is a light 3 mph cross-offshore from the south, and the water is described as "clean". The energy is still 229 (moderate). This is the only time in the whole 16 days where the conditions line up. For a reef break, that long period and clean wind could set up a few proper waves. But it's small, so you'll need a bigger board. The afternoon goes back to poor conditions with a strong 16 mph WNW wind.

After that, from Tuesday, September 15th, right through to Wednesday, September 23rd, it's a long, bleak run. The swell drops, the period stays short, and the wind is almost always on or cross-onshore. The combined energy falls off a cliff, down to 42 and 29 by the end, which is weak. The break is "consistent", but the conditions are just consistently poor. There's a gap of over a week where there's absolutely nothing good to recommend.

Look, I hate to say it, but the only real option here is that Monday morning, September 14th. It's your best bet, but it's a small, clean window, not a classic. For everything else, the wind is just too strong and from the wrong direction. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing most of those days.

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.
