The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Shooting Gallery. We’re looking at a long stretch of mostly poor conditions, with only a few very brief windows of hope.
The overall pattern is dominated by persistent onshore wind, mostly from the north. That cross-onshore breeze is going to chop up the surface for the vast majority of the forecast, making things pretty lumpy and unappealing. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're staring at the messy waves.
The first real chance we get is on the afternoon of Sunday the 13th. The wind drops right out, going glassy, and we’ve got a 3ft swell from the north, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 212. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary – the kind of session where you’re just happy to wet the line. Still, it’s the first clean look we’ve had.
The real standout, if you can wait, is the Monday the 14th morning. This is a late call, but it’s the best on offer. We get a cross-offshore wind from the WNW, which is a massive positive for clean conditions. The swell is from the NNW at 3ft, but the period stretches out to 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (304). This is clean, lined-up energy. A solid, intermediate-friendly wave due to the size, but the long period means it might be a bit tricky at the main peak, looking for a better line. Keep your eyes open for a channel.
After that, it’s back to the grind. The following week looks grim with persistent north winds and small, weak swell. The energy drops into the double digits (68) by the 19th, and the waves are tiny. The last two days of the window (20th-21st September) show a small bump in energy to the 160-216 range, but the onshore winds are still there, keeping it chopped. It’s a long wait for a couple of clean windows.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is the glassy Sunday 13th afternoon for a mellow paddle, or the clean Monday 14th morning for the best quality. Everything else is a write-off.
Rusty.
