The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's be real, the next two weeks are a tough beat. We're looking at a solid 10-day stretch of nothing much to write home about before we finally get a sniff of something rideable.
The first real chance is on Friday, September 4th. The swell is 4 feet from the north, with a short 8-second period, so the energy is weak (169). The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The standout, and honestly the only window worth paddling for, is Friday morning, September 4th at Shooting Gallery. It's a reef break, and it's getting a clean, light cross-offshore breeze from the west at 6 mph. For the first time in the whole forecast, the conditions are described as "clean." The surf is small, 4 feet, so it's a beginner-friendly, fun-sized wave. Keep in mind, this spot is a consistent reef and an intermediate-level wave, so it'll handle that small swell fine. Crowds are possible, so you won't be totally alone.
The rest of the outlook is a total dud. The wind is ripping from the north-northeast at 15-19 mph, creating choppy, lumpy, cross-onshore junk. The swell energy is moderate at best, and the wave quality is consistently poor. Nothing is clean until that Friday.
After that Friday, it's back to the same grind. The wind picks up, the swell fades. The energy drops, and the conditions are a mess. A couple of days in the second week around the 9th have a bigger swell, but the wind is onshore, so it's a chop-fest. If you're looking for a good session, stick to that Friday morning. Otherwise, maybe get the kiteboard out for the rest of this run.
Rusty, signing off.

A general guide to surfing at Shooting Gallery can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
