Right, let's have a look at this coming stretch. Honestly, mate, it’s a tough run ahead. For the next 16 days, there’s nothing I’d call a winner out there. The one spot on the radar is Shooting Gallery, but the conditions just aren’t playing ball.
We’ve got a fair bit of swell rolling in at times – on Thursday the 2nd of July, for example, we’re looking at a 5ft north swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at (456). But here’s the kicker: the wind is all wrong. It’s a cross-shore breeze, 9 mph, and the water’s at 71°, which is pretty average for this time of year. The whole setup just looks messy, with that cross-chop ruining any chance of clean waves. It’s no good for paddling – honestly, with that onshore wind and poor quality, it might be more interesting for the kite crew than us surfers.
Friday the 3rd into the weekend isn’t any better. Swell drops a bit to 5ft, but the wind stays cross or even gets a bit cross-onshore, and the energy pulls back to (335) and then (263) by Saturday. The period stays short, mostly around 9 seconds, and the surf quality is consistently poor. Sunday the 5th sees the swell shrink to 3ft to 3ft with a NW wind picking up to 16 mph, and the energy drops to (153). It’s all a bit of a mess.
The whole first week is a write-off, to be honest. We go from a moderate energy swell down to weak energy by Monday the 6th, with the combined energy reading just (117) and then (64) in the afternoon. The period even drops to 5 seconds by the 7th of July, which is just awful for shaping a wave. The wind never lets up, staying cross or cross-onshore the whole time.
Into the second week, from around the 9th of July onwards, we get a bit more swell again – about 4ft to 4ft from the north – but the period is still short, mostly 6 seconds. The energy picks back up to (126) and (167) at points, but again, we’re stuck with moderate cross-onshore winds that keep the surface lumpy and choppy. It’s just not surfable. As we go towards the 16th and 17th of July, the wind even gets up to 16-19 mph, and the energy stays around (178) and (139), but it’s all onshore junk.
So, there’s no standout here. No session to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is basically a gap with no recommendations. It’s a flat spell where the conditions never come together. Sometimes that’s just how it goes around here – a blank run is more normal than you’d think, but forecasts can always change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
