The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee. This is Rusty.

We’re staring down the barrel of a pretty grim stretch here. The forecast for the next 16 days is a long, tough slog. The first solid recommendation doesn't appear for a while, and even then, it's a narrow window. The wind is the main villain here, blowing hard from the north and northeast, keeping the surface chopped up and messy. The one break we've got to look at is a tricky reef setup, so when the conditions are this poor, it’s a write-off.

Let's be real: the first week and a half is a total washout. You’re looking at a solid 10 days of nothing worth paddling for. The wind is relentless, mostly cross-onshore in the 15-19 mph range, and the swell is short-period, weak, and wind-affected. It’s a frustrating run of poor surf conditions.

The only light at the end of the tunnel, and I mean the *only* one, is a tiny window around Thursday, August 20th. We finally get a bit of a break from the worst of the wind. On the afternoon of the 20th, the wind swings to the NNW at a gentle 9 mph, going cross-shore. It’s not perfect, but it’s the cleanest we’re going to see. The swell is still small, but the period finally stretches out a bit. This is the one to circle.

Shooting Gallery (Reef)
The best, and really only, chance to get wet is on the afternoon of Thursday, August 20th. The wind will be gentle and cross-shore, which will make this reef setup a lot more inviting. The swell will be a clean 3 ft from the north, but with a period of 9 seconds, it’ll have a bit more shape than the slop we’ve been dealing with. The combined energy is still low (141), so don't expect bombs, but it’ll be rideable. The water temperature is sitting at 74°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for this time of year, so the water feels good. This is a fairly exposed reef that goes best with a NNW swell, and we’re close enough to that direction that it should line up. It’s a consistent spot, and if you’re an intermediate surfer, this is the session. Just be aware that crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so you might have a few others with the same idea. After this brief window, it’s back to the same old choppy, windy story for the rest of the forecast period.

Stay patient. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a long wait for a short, sweet window.

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.
