The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with you. Shooting Gallery is looking rough for the next sixteen days. The only shot at a decent surf is the very first morning, and then it’s pretty much a write-off.
Wednesday 15 July starts with a small 2ft north swell, 8-second period, and weak energy. The wind is offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, so the morning will be glassy and clean. That’s your one chance—small, but fun for an intermediate. Crowds are possible, so go early. By the afternoon the wind switches onshore, and it’s done.
From Thursday 16 July through to Thursday 30 July, it’s a total mess. The wind is cross-onshore from the north, blowing 15 to 19 mph, sometimes up to 22 mph. The swell runs 4ft to 6ft, with short periods of 6 to 8 seconds. The energy climbs from moderate to strong (106 to 447), but it’s all lumpy, choppy, and poor. Not a single day is worth it.
The one exception is the morning of Tuesday 28 July: a 2ft WNW swell with a long 12-second period and moderate energy (221). That’s a groundswell, but the wind is still howling at 19 mph. No good.
So, if you’re keen, paddle out on the morning of Wednesday 15 July for the glassy window. After that, the forecast is a long, ugly stretch of poor surf. It’s unusual for this spot to be this bad for so long, but it happens. Hang tight.

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.

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.
