The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a 16-day outlook for Shooting Gallery, and honestly, it’s a tough one. The whole period is a write-off for decent surfing. There’s a long dry spell of no good waves on offer right from the start, and it just doesn’t let up.
The forecast is a grim run of constant cross-onshore winds, mostly from the north, with a moderate to fresh breeze that’s just chopping everything up. The swell sticks around a modest 3 ft to 6 ft, but it’s short-period, messy windswell, not the kind of energy that lines up. The combined swell energy peaks at 596 (moderate) on the 15th of August, but it’s paired with a fresh breeze and lumpy conditions, so it’s all for nothing.
The water temperature is sitting at 73°F, which is about 1°F warmer than average for this time of year – nothing unusual, just a touch warm.
The best you can say is that the swell size never gets out of hand, but the wind is just relentless. It’s a classic case of the barometer being stuck on poor. There’s no standout, no hidden gem to chase. Nothing but crossed-up, choppy water.
If you’re a kite surfer, the setup might look interesting with those consistent onshore winds on the 5th and 12th of August, but for paddle surfing, it’s a total blank. Sometimes that’s just how it goes in this neck of the woods.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but for now, we’re on the beach.
Rusty.
