The Lowdown
Alright folks, ol' Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Shooting Gallery over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's a bit of a grim stretch ahead.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a long dry spell. The first surf recommendation doesn't pop up until the 24th of August, so we’ve got a solid two-week gap of nothing worth paddling out for. From the 9th to the 23rd, it's a wasteland. The wind is howling from the north-northeast, mostly cross-onshore, and the swell is a messy, short-period windswell. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best, sitting around the 100-250 mark. It's gonna be choppy, lumpy, and just plain ugly – not worth wettin' a line.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the tail end of the forecast. On Monday morning, the 24th of August, we finally see a pulse. The swell pushes up to 4 ft from the north, and the period stretches out to a nice 10 seconds. That's a big jump in quality. The combined energy climbs to 343 (moderate wave energy), which tells us there's finally some proper push behind it. Best of all, the wind is forecast to be "on" – light and offshore from the NNE. That means we could get some really clean, glassy conditions at this reef break, and that is a rare and beautiful thing.
For a spot that's rated as "fairly exposed" to the north swell, this is the one true standout. The direction is perfect for Shooting Gallery's optimum (NNW), and with an offshore breeze, the waves should be peeling nicely. It's a consistent spot, so you can expect some waves. Just keep in mind, the crowd factor is "sometimes", so there's a decent chance you'll have a few friends out there with you.
Other than that one morning, the rest of the 24th looks like it'll go back to the cross-onshore chaos. It's a long time to wait, but that Monday morning session might just be worth the patience.
Rusty.

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.
