The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at this 16-day window, it’s a tough stretch for the lineup. The only spot on the radar is Shooting Gallery, and honestly, it’s a struggle.
We’re kicking off on Tuesday, July 28th, and the pattern is locked in for a while. The swell is coming from the north, pretty much the whole time, but it’s all short-period windswell, mostly between 5 and 8 seconds. That means weak, crumbly energy with no punch. The combined energy is moderate at best, topping out around 200 (moderate wave energy) for the first week, nothing to get excited about.
The real killer is the wind. For the first week and a half, it’s blowing from the north and northeast, putting us in a cross-onshore or onshore position. The surf is chopped up and lumpy – classic "poor surf conditions" across the board. You’ll see a few mornings where the wind goes cross-off or even on, but it’s still accompanied by clean conditions or an unknown state, which doesn’t save the tiny, weak swell.
There’s a slight uptick in size around Monday, August 10th, with the swell reaching 6ft, and the energy ramping up to 305 (strong wave energy). But the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy. By Tuesday, August 11th, the swell pushes to 6ft from the north-northeast, with energy hitting 435 (strong wave energy), but again, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, trashing any chance of a clean wave. It’s a frustrating combo of just enough size to be messy, but not enough to handle the chop.
Honestly, there are no standout days here. The wind is just never right for Shooting Gallery, and the swell is too weak and short-period to overcome it. For a reef break, that’s a non-starter. If you’re a kite surfer, the cross-onshore winds and building chop from August 10th onward might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass. The forecast changes, but for now, the board stays on the roof.
Rusty.

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.
