The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breakin’ down the same stretch at Shooting Gallery in feet and miles per hour. It’s a grim outlook for the most part.
We start off Saturday the 12th with a north swell around 5ft, but it’s short-period junk at 8 seconds, and a fresh 15 mph north cross-onshore wind is makin’ a mess of it – lumpy and choppy. The combined energy is moderate (373), but the quality is pure rubbish. Sunday the 13th afternoon goes glassy, with the swell dropping to 4ft, but it’s still short and weak – just ordinary surf.
Monday the 14th morning is the first glimmer: glassy conditions with a tiny 2ft groundswell from the NNW, but here’s the thing – a 13-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’s got some shape and energy (192 combined energy). It’s clean, but you’ll need a log to catch anything. After that, the wind goes bad again, and we’re stuck with choppy, cross-onshore slop for days. Water temp is about 75°F – normal for the season.
The one real standout is way out on Tuesday the 22nd of September. That morning we get a 5ft groundswell from the NNW with a 14-second period and a combined energy of 779 – that’s solid. The wind is light from the ENE at just 6 mph, so it’s a light cross-onshore, barely a ripple. This is your best shot. The direction is perfect for Shooting Gallery’s reef, and that long period means waves with some punch. Just remember, crowds can show up here sometimes.
After that, it’s all downhill. By the 23rd, the wind picks up again, and by the last week of September, the swell is barely 1ft with fresh onshore winds. The whole setup is pretty grim for paddle surfing.
Mark your calendar for the 22nd morning – that’s the one.

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.
