The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. It’s a rough patch of swell ahead. We’re talking a solid 10 days of pretty average conditions from July 22nd right through to the 31st. The wind is stuck out of the north and north-northeast, blowing a steady 15 to 22 mph, straight onshore, just tearing the surface to pieces. The wave height hangs around 4 to 7 ft, but with a short, weak period of 7 to 8 seconds, it’s all wind-slop with no power. The combined energy is middling, bouncing between 200 and 550, but it’s useless with that wind.
The one bright spot in the whole 16-day forecast is the morning of Saturday, August 1st. That morning, the wind drops to a dead flat calm, glassy as a mirror at Shooting Gallery. That’s a reef break, gets hit from the north-northwest swell direction. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the north with an 8-second period, putting out a moderate amount of energy (248). The report says "surfable" but ordinary, so it’s not going to be a world-class day, but it’ll be the only clean wave you’ll find in this whole run. The water temp is 73°, which is spot on for the season.
After that, the trade winds kick right back in, the swell starts to fade, and we’re back to square one. By August 5th and 6th, the swell direction swings to the west-northwest with a longer period (10-11 seconds), but the wind is still onshore, so it’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. The 6th of August morning has a bit more energy (341) from the north with a longer period, but the onshore wind will kill it.
If you’re really itching to get wet, you’ve got one window: the morning of Saturday, August 1st. That’s your best bet. Everything else is a write-off.

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.
