The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run through the same story for Shooting Gallery.
We kick off on Monday the 14th. There’s a small 0.5m swell out of the NNW, with a very long 13 second period. The morning is glassy, so that’s a rare clean window for a few waist-high runners. The water temp is 23°, about average for this time of year. The combined wave energy is moderate (211). If you want a quiet paddle, Monday morning is your best bet.
From Monday afternoon right through the end of September, it’s mostly a mess. The wind is almost always cross-onshore from the north or NNE. Swell stays between 0.5m and 1.5m for the first week, but the conditions are poor. Energy readings sit between 54 and 349, mostly low to moderate. Not worth getting wet.
Thursday the 17th brings a bump to 1.5m, but with a short period of 7-8 seconds and fresh cross-onshore winds, it’s lumpy and ugly. That pattern sticks through the 19th, with similar size but poor wind. Friday the 18th sees the energy hit 566, but it’s still choppy.
Sunday the 20th morning has a brief glimmer: 0.8m from the NNW with a very long 15 second period, light onshore wind. The energy is high (476) for the size, suggesting a deep water pulse, but it’s still called marginal.
The second week stays poor until the 26th. Small swell, persistent cross-onshore winds, energy mostly low to moderate (100-380). Nothing to write home about.
Then Sunday the 27th afternoon brings 1.8m from the NNW, 11 second period, cross-shore winds. The energy jumps to 930, which is strong. It’s still marginal, but that’s the first sign of something bigger.
Monday the 28th is a big day: 3.0m from the NNW, 13 second period in the morning, 12 in the afternoon. The energy readings are huge (3287 and 2403). But the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’ll be a washing machine. That’s serious groundswell, expert-only territory, and with the wind, it might be better for kite surfing than a paddle session.
Tuesday the 29th drops back to 1.8m, still cross-on and lumpy.
The one true standout is Monday morning the 14th. Small but glassy and clean. If you want size, the 27th afternoon through the 28th has it, but the wind will mess it up. For a clean wave, stick with the 14th morning.
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.
