The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough run of forecasts for the next 16 days. There’s not a single standout session in the whole window, and no surf worth paddling out for over at Shooting Gallery (reef). The water is sitting at 73°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing crazy, just a little on the mild side.
The pattern kicks off on Monday, 3rd August, with a weak 3ft N swell, but the wind is a cross-on from the NNE at 12 mph, creating choppy, bumpy conditions. The combined energy of all swells is only 129, so it’s weak and lifeless. This continues through Tuesday and Wednesday, with the swell barely nudging up to 4ft, but the wind stays onshore or cross-on, and the period is short—6 to 7 seconds—so the waves are just messy and weak. The energy builds slowly, hitting 197 on Wednesday morning and 252 by Thursday morning, but it’s still poor, with the wind getting stronger, up to 19 mph, and the swell direction stuck on N or NNE.
By Friday, 7th August, the swell height reaches 5ft, and the energy climbs to 362, but it’s all cross-on wind and short period—8 seconds at best. This is a beach-and-reef setup, and with that wind, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one. Saturday and Sunday keep the 5ft to 6ft range, but the wind remains cross-on, and the energy peaks at 408 on Saturday morning, then drops. The period never gets above 8 seconds, so there’s no real power or shape.
The second week is more of the same. From Monday, 10th August, through to Tuesday, 18th August, the swell hangs around 3ft to 6ft, but the wind is a constant cross-on from the N or NNE, with moderate to fresh breezes. The energy is moderate at best, with the highest value on the 15th hitting 798, but the swell is still short-period and poorly directed. The waves are bumpy, lumpy, and uninviting. There’s a gap of zero quality surf from start to finish—no let-up.
Forget the standout, there’s nothing here to shout about. The best you can hope for is a quick, hopeless glance at the ocean. Forecasts can change, but right now, this run is a solid dud.
Rusty.

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.
