The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cooking for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a tough stretch. The only spot in the mix is Shooting Gallery, a reef break that's fairly exposed and picks up swell from the NNW. The water is sitting at 72.9°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a small silver lining. But for the whole 16-day window, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. There's no good surf on offer at all. The first record kicks off on July 20th, and it's a grim run right through to August 4th.

The wind is the main problem. It's a constant cross-on or cross-shore breeze, mostly from the N or NNE, blowing at 15 to 22 mph. That's a fresh to moderate breeze that's keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. There's no sign of a light, glassy, or offshore wind to clean things up. The swell is hanging around between 2 ft and 7 ft, with periods mostly short, between 6 and 10 seconds. Combined wave energy is moderate for most of it, hitting over 500 (577) on the weekend of July 26th, but it's all junk with that wind.

With that consistent cross-on wind and a moderate to fresh breeze, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The waves are there, but the quality is just not there for a clean surf. A blank run like this is fairly normal for the area when the wind doesn't play ball. It tends not to stay poor for long, but for now, there's nothing to get excited about.

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.
