The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. Look, I've been staring at the charts for Shooting Gallery, and honestly, it's a bit of a bummer. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for a decent paddle. The wind is just relentless – it's locked in from the north-northeast and north, blowing hard and cross-onshore or onshore for the entire run. That's going to leave it chopped up, lumpy, and just plain messy. There's no magic window where it cleans up for a session.
The swell is there, don't get me wrong. It starts off around 4.6ft from the NNE on Sunday the 19th, and it builds. By the 25th and 26th, we're looking at 6.6ft of north swell, with the combined energy climbing into the 500s (moderate). It even pushes up to 8.2ft on the morning of Tuesday the 28th, with energy jumping to 983 (moderate). But that's all academic when the wind is trashing it. That 8.2ft day is getting too big for beginners anyway, but for an expert? It's still a no-go with that onshore blow.
The period is short, 6 to 8 seconds for most of it, which means weak, windswell junk. It finally stretches to 9 seconds late in the run, but by then the wind is still on it. There's no standout, there's no 'go' day. Not one single session gets a score above zero. This is a classic case of "don't even bother." For a consistent reef break like Shooting Gallery, it's a real shame. The water temp is sitting at 73°F on the 19th, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be feeling it from the beach.
The whole setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle. We've got a solid 16-day blank run here. Sometimes it just stays poor, and this is one of those times.
