The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Shooting Gallery.
To be straight up with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, with wind and swell not lining up. The water temp is sitting at about 75°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
For the first week, from Friday the 11th right through to Sunday the 20th of September, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at a consistent run of cross-onshore winds, mostly from the north, and the swell is small and weak. The wave energy is low, sitting between 52 and 356 (moderate wave energy at best), but the wind is just ruining any chance of a clean wave. Swell heights are around 1.0 to 2 feet for most of that period, but the wind is making it lumpy and choppy. It’s not even worth paddling out unless you’re desperate for a float.
There’s a small window on Monday the 21st of September that’s worth a mention, but don’t get your hopes up. The morning shows a tiny 2ft swell from the north with a period of 8 seconds and the wind goes glassy. That’s the only time in the whole forecast the wind turns off. The energy is weak at 74. You could get a few crumbly little rollers on a longboard if you’re keen, but it’s not going to be anything special. The afternoon sees a cross-offshore breeze and even smaller 2ft waves.
After that, we’re back into the same old story. From Tuesday the 22nd of September through to Saturday the 26th of September, the wind swings back onshore, mostly from the north-northeast, and it gets fresh again. The swell does pick up a bit, hitting 4ft from the north-northwest on the 26th with a period of 13 seconds and a combined energy of 645 (strong wave energy). But that doesn’t matter when the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. For a reef break like Shooting Gallery, that’s just messy.
To be honest, there isn’t a single standout day here. The only thing close is the glassy morning on the 21st of September, but the swell is tiny. It’s a poor run of surf, and this spot isn’t going to offer anything decent until the wind pattern changes.
Rusty out.
