Table - best surf conditions forecast for Shooting Gallery over the next 16 days.


Alright, let’s break it down for Shooting Gallery. This is a reef break, suited for intermediate surfers, and it breaks pretty consistently around here. Water temp is about 72°, which is just a touch warmer than average for the time of year – nothing crazy.

The first few days are a bust. Friday the 10th kicks off with 2ft from the north, a weak 5-second period, and a cross-onshore wind from the north at 16 mph. It’s choppy and small. The swell energy is only 53 (weak). The whole weekend and into the next week is more of the same – small waves, poor winds, and messy conditions. There’s a little bump on Sunday the 12th with 4ft NW swell, 8-second period, and energy hits 204 (moderate), but the wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s choppy.

We’re looking at a big gap here – several days with nothing worth paddling out for. The wind just won’t cooperate.

Around the 21st of July, things start to shift. The wind goes to the northwest, giving us a cross-shore flow. The swell is 4ft from the north, 9-second period, and energy is 290 (moderate). It’s still not perfect, but it’s the first sign of life. The Tuesday morning gets a “marginal” call, but it’s way better than the junk before it.

The real standout is Saturday the 25th of July, morning. That’s the one. Swell is 5ft from the north, 7-second period, and energy is 297 (moderate). The wind is from the northwest at just 6 mph, going cross-offshore. That’s clean. The forecast actually says “expect good surf conditions.” For a reef break, that cross-offshore breeze will make the waves look great. The swell direction is a good match for the optimum NNW. With 5ft, it’s a bit much for beginners, but intermediates will love it. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so get out early.

The swell holds through the 24th and 25th, but the wind turns more cross-shore in the afternoon, so morning sessions are the key.

So, bottom line: it’s a long, slow start, but that Saturday the 25th morning is the one to chase. Don’t bother with the rest.

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.
