The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Shooting Gallery over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you, mate – it’s a pretty bleak run. There’s a real lack of any solid, clean swell and the wind is mostly a pain in the neck.
We kick off on Saturday, 29 August, with a 6-foot swell from the north (929 moderate energy), but it’s totally stuffed by a fresh 19 mph onshore breeze. That’s just messy, no two ways about it. This pattern hangs around for days. Through the weekend and into the start of the week, we’re looking at onshore and cross-onshore winds from the north-northeast up to 19 mph, with waves dropping from 5 feet to 5 feet. The period is short, around 8 to 9 seconds, so the surf is just weak and choppy. There is nothing worth paddling out for.
Tuesday 1 September and Wednesday 2 September are more of the same – fresh cross-onshore winds, lumpy 5-foot to 6-foot surf. The combined energy climbs a bit on Wednesday (477-481), but with those winds, it’s just a washing machine. This is a solid week where the surf quality is just poor.
There is a tiny glimmer on Friday, 4 September. The morning sees a small 4-foot north swell (144 weak energy) but the wind swings light and cross-offshore from the west-northwest. That’ll clean things right up, giving some surfable, if small, waves. It’s not a stand-out day, but it’s the best we’ve got in the first week. The afternoon gets a bit windier again.
After that, we drop into a long flat spell. From Saturday 5 September right through to the end of the run on Sunday 13 September, the swell barely scrapes past 4 feet, with the period dropping to a pathetic 6 or 7 seconds and the wind never letting up from an onshore or cross-onshore direction. The energy is weak to low-moderate (144-277). On Sunday 13 September, there is a little bump in energy to 400 with a 3-foot north-west swell and a longer 13-second period, but it’s still under a moderate cross-onshore breeze. It’s just not worth the effort.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, that Friday 4 September morning is your only real window, and even then keep expectations low. For the rest of it, the beach is looking better for a kite session than a surf.

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.
