The Lowdown
Hey. Rusty here. Look, I've been staring at the charts for Shooting Gallery and, to be honest, it's a pretty grim stretch ahead. We've got a solid 16-day window, but the first 14 days are a write-off. It’s not just bad, it’s consistently messy. The wind is almost always cross-onshore, coming from the north or northwest, keeping everything lumpy and chopped up. There’s a stretch from now right through to the 21st of September where you simply wouldn't bother paddling out. The swell is weak, with the combined energy struggling to get past 369 (moderate), and most days it’s barely mustering a pulse. The period stays short, around 8 seconds, so it’s just windswell junk.
The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about normal for this time of year, but you won't be feeling it with that wind on your back.
Now, look at the end of the tunnel. On the morning of the 26th of September, we get a glimmer. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the NNW, but the period stretches to 14 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, carrying some real energy – the combined energy hits 902 (strong), which is a huge spike. This is the only standout in the whole run, but there’s a big catch with a long-period swell like that at a reef break. It can get tricky.
Even then, the wind is forecast to be onshore from the NE, and it’s a bit of an unknown for conditions. It’s a call you’ll have to make on the day. Before that? Nothing. Don't even bother. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, making a mess of the 4ft to 5ft waves that show up around the 17th and 18th. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the majority of the outlook, especially with all that cross-onshore wind.
Stay patient.
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.
