The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Shooting Gallery. This is a reef break, takes a NNW swell, and it’s fairly exposed. The good news is it’s a consistent spot; the bad news is that for most of this outlook, the wind is going to be a real bastard.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°.
Right off the bat, the first chance for a surf is Monday morning, August 24. We’ve got a 6 ft NNW swell with a period of 12 seconds, which is a nice groundswell, and the combined energy is decent at 946. The wind is light offshore from the NE, so it’s clean. That’s your standout window. After that, it goes pear-shaped pretty fast. The wind swings cross-onshore and stays there, gusting hard through the rest of the week and into early September. The swell hangs around, but it’s all blown out and choppy. There are a few mornings where the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, but it’s not good.
The second week doesn’t offer much for clean waves. The swell drops off, the wind stays messy, and by the time we get to September 6, the swell is small and weak. There is a glimmer on Monday morning, September 7, with a very long period swell from the WNW at 19 seconds. That’s a solid groundswell, and the energy is strong (830). The wind is light from the NW, so it could be clean. But this is a reef break taking an optimum from the NNW, and a long-period WNW swell can wrap in a bit differently. It’s worth remembering that long period swells can break a bit straight at beach breaks, but at a reef like this, it might line up nicely. It’s a promising but less certain option further out.
Overall, the one true standout is that Monday morning, August 24. Get it while it’s clean, because the next couple of weeks look like a write-off for good, clean surf. This is going to be a long stretch of onshore junk.

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.
