The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at what’s coming up for Shooting Gallery over the next couple of weeks. I’ve got to be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. There’s a real flat spell on the cards with nothing worth paddling out for.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, the pattern is pretty grim. The surf is small and the wind is just about always coming from the wrong direction, messing up what little swell there is. The first solid recommendation isn't going to pop up until well into the forecast. You’re looking at a long gap of poor conditions right from Thursday, August 13th, all the way through to the end of the month. The first noteworthy day doesn't come until the very end.
The first time you might want to check the water is on Friday, August 28th. That morning, Shooting Gallery sees a bit of a pulse. We've got a 5ft swell from the north with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is up to 359 – that’s moderate energy, showing there’s some push behind it. But, the wind will be a moderate cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy. The afternoon actually sees the energy jump to 426, still a 5ft north swell and an 8-second period, but again that onshore wind is going to keep it from being clean. This is really the only moment in the entire forecast that has any size, and it’s not great. For beginners, 5ft is getting a bit much, and with that chop, it's more of a challenge.
The water temp is sitting at 74°, which the data says is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice bonus for the body if nothing else.
Honestly, for most of the run, the swell is around 2ft to 5ft with short periods and that persistent cross-onshore wind. The combined energy stays in the two-digit to low three-digit range – weak to moderate. It’s just messy. There’s nothing here that stands out as a good session.
If you’re really desperate by the 28th, you could get wet, but don’t expect much. The rest of the period? Save your energy. No standout sessions here.
Stay tuned, Rusty.
