The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for our little stretch of coast.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim around here. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead before anything even slightly worth paddling out for shows up. From now until the 12th of September, the conditions are just plain ugly. Persistent northerly winds, a lot of cross-onshore junk, and the swell is small and weak – mostly under 4ft with short, choppy periods. The water is a touch warmer than average at 75°F, about 2°F above normal, but that’s about the only positive. The combined wave energy is weak all the way through, barely hitting triple digits some days, and the forecast ratings are a flat zero. You’d be better off taking the dogs for a walk.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on the 13th of September. On Sunday morning, things finally swing. We get a light, clean cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, and even though the swell is just a small 4ft from the north with an 8-second period, it will be surfable. The water will be clean, and the combined energy is still moderate at best (202), but after nothing, this is a win. That afternoon stays clean but drops a touch to 3ft. It’s not a standout, just the first breath of life.

The biggest letdown is the following week. From the 14th through the 18th, it goes right back to small, weak, and messy. The best day in that run is probably the 14th, but the swell is tiny (2ft-2ft) and the winds are all over the place. Not worth the wetsuit rub.

The true standout of the entire 16-day window lands right at the end. On Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, we get our best shot. The swell holds steady around 3ft from the NNE, but the real story is the wind. Light, glassy cross-offshore breezes from the west and WNW will have Shooting Gallery looking clean. This is a reef break, intermediate-level, and usually consistent, so with that offshore wind, it should be tidy. The combined wave energy is still moderate (139 on the 19th), and the period is only 7-8 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell freight train, but it’s clean, it’s small, and it’s our best bet. Keep an eye on Sunday afternoon – the wind picks up a bit, but it’s still cross-offshore.

So, to sum it up: don’t bother for the first eight days. The 13th is a tease. But the 19th and 20th of September are your best chance for a clean little session at Shooting Gallery. It won’t be big, but it’ll be fun.

Rusty.

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.
