The Lowdown

Right now, Shooting Gallery is pretty much flat and sad, folks. We’re looking at waves around 2 to 2 feet over the next couple of days – nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. The wind is light and glassy on Monday morning, so if you’re desperate for a paddle, you’ll find clean but tiny waves. That’s about the only highlight for the start of this stretch.

The rest of the week, into Tuesday and Wednesday, the surf stays small – 1 to 2 feet – and the onshore breezes start to mess things up. Tuesday morning is still clean but tiny, but by Wednesday it’s cross-on and choppy. Nothing here worth skipping work for.

Then Thursday the 17th we see a bit of a bump in size – around 5 feet – but don’t get excited. The period drops to 7-8 seconds, which is pure windswell, and the wind is fresh and cross-onshore, making it lumpy and ugly. This continues through Friday and into Saturday the 19th – still around 5 feet but with onshore winds. It’s messy, and honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The energy is moderate, but quality is zero. Beginners should stay well clear – at over 5 feet, it’s already too much for them.

Sunday the 20th drops back down to about 2 feet, but there’s a lovely 14-second period in there. It’s clean-ish but tiny. Marginal at best.

And then we hit a real dead zone early next week – Monday the 21st through Wednesday the 23rd we’re back to small, weak surf, 2 to 3 feet, with poor conditions. This is a rough stretch for anyone wanting a wave.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting for the long range. Thursday the 24th is still small, but that Friday the 25th we see the period jump to 15-16 seconds – proper groundswell direction from the NW. The size is only 2 to 3 feet, but that long period means more push. But then Saturday the 26th is the standout: around 4 feet with a 13-second period, and the energy jumps up nicely. It’s still cross-on with a gentle breeze, but that’s the best we’ve seen in a while. Water temp is about average for this time of year.

That Saturday morning is the pick of the whole 16 days – still not huge, but clean-ish and with some decent energy behind it. Then Sunday the 27th fades again, and the 28th brings more onshore winds with 4 feet but no quality. By the 29th we’re back to marginal.

So, honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for Shooting Gallery. The only true highlight is Saturday the 26th, and even that’s a small wave in mediocre winds. The rest is either too small, too messy, or too onshore. If you can wait for better days, you’re better off waiting – but this is what we’ve got.

Rusty out.

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.
