The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s swap the meters for feet and see what we’re dealing with.
It’s a rough start. For about the first ten days, you’re looking at flat or choppy junk. The swell is small, the winds are all cross-on, and the energy is nothing to write home about. There’s a long dry spell where the board stays on the racks.
The only light at the end of the tunnel is a week out.
The One to Watch – Sunday, September 20th
On the morning of Sunday, September 20th, we finally get a glimmer. The wind swings offshore out of the NE at 3 mph, cleaning up a small 3ft swell from the NNW. That swell has a 14-second period, so it’s got some serious groundswell grunt behind it, even if the height is small. The combined energy is moderate (457). For a reef like Shooting Gallery, that long period means the waves will have good shape, with nice long lines and gaps between sets. The offshore breeze will keep the face glassy. It’s a real surfable window. Just know that crowds can pop up here, and it’s a spot for intermediate surfers.
Beyond that? A bigger bump shows up around September 29th, but it’s a choppy mess with strong onshores. The swell hits about 6ft, but it’s blown out, rough, and only worth a look if you’ve got a kite. For paddle surfing, that Sunday the 20th is the only real play. It’s a long way off, so don’t bank on it, but it’s something to dream about.
Hang tight.
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.
