The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta level with you right from the start. The next couple of weeks at Shooting Gallery are looking like a write-off for anything fun on a surfboard.
It’s a tough stretch. From now through the end of August, the wind is almost constantly onshore or cross-onshore from the north or north-northeast, pushing in at 9 to 22 mph. The swell is all short-period windswell, barely cracking 7 to 9 seconds, and the heights are stuck in the 2 ft to 6 ft range, but with that wind, it’s just a choppy, lumpy mess. Combined wave energy stays mostly in the low to barely moderate zone – between 105 and 273 (moderate energy). We’re looking at a blank run of poor surf conditions for a solid two weeks.
The only flicker of something slightly less terrible arrives on Saturday, 29 August, in the morning. The wind goes glassy from the northeast at just 3 mph. The swell is tiny, only 2 ft from the north with a period of 7 seconds (weak short-period stuff), and the combined energy drops to just 75 (weak energy). The data calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – and that’s the best we’ve got. Even then, the offshore direction is from the NE, which is onshore for this spot’s optimum NW direction, so the shape won’t be great. It’s a small, weak, tidy-up session for the desperate.
Forget about any standout sessions in this outlook. The water temp is sitting at about 73°F, which is normal for this time of year – at least that’s comfortable for the long paddle out to nowhere.
All in all, this is a kite-surfing window more than a surf one. The wind is consistent, the waves are short and messy. For us surfers, it’s a waiting game.
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.
