The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got lined up. This is a pretty grim stretch, I gotta be honest with you. We're looking at Shooting Gallery, and for the next full 16 days, it's a tough slog. There isn't a single session I'd call good. There's a big gap at the start with nothing to recommend, and it doesn't really change. The whole period is one long stretch of poor quality, so don't get your hopes up.
Looking at the first available data, Thursday September 3rd through to Thursday the 10th, we've got a persistent north-northeast wind blowing cross-onshore or onshore constantly. Swell hangs around the 2 ft to 5 ft mark, mostly from the north, with combined energy climbing up to 508 (moderate energy). But it's all short-period wind swell, between 5 and 8 seconds, which means weak, choppy lines. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze.
Moving into the second week, from Friday the 11th to Thursday the 17th, it’s more of the same. Swell drops off to about 4 ft and then fades to a tiny 1 ft by Wednesday the 16th. The combined energy stays moderate, in the 165 to 288 range, but the cross-onshore wind just won't quit. There is a bit of a longer period on the 17th (11 seconds), but it's still wrapped in a moderate cross-onshore breeze, making it messy.
Then we get to Friday the 18th of September. That morning looks like the closest we get to a pulse of hope. We've got a 3 ft north swell, but the period jumps to 10 seconds, combined energy hits 288 (moderate), and most importantly, the wind goes light and variable from the NE at only 3 mph, right onshore. The wave comment says it's marginal, and the score is still barely a 1, so I wouldn't call it a standout. It's just the least terrible option on the table.
Honestly, there are no standout days here. It’s a blank run of pure frustration. The setup with the consistent cross-to-onshore wind for most of these days and short-period swell at a beach and reef set-up like Shooting Gallery looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. I'd leave the boards at home for this one. The forecasts can always change, but for now, it's a hard pass.

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.
