The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Stinky Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a frustrating stretch from Tuesday the 8th of September right through to Tuesday the 22nd of September. There’s surf on offer, but the conditions are just rubbish. The wind is mostly cross-on or cross, and it’s choppy, lumpy, or just plain messy. Even when the swell pops up, it’s not worth paddling out for. The combined wave energy gets up to around 571 (moderate) on the 8th, but with a 22 mph cross-on wind, it’s just a washing machine. The water is sitting at 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when the lineup is a mess.
The one bright spot – and I mean the only real standout in the whole 16-day window – is Wednesday the 23rd of September. That morning, the stars align. The wind drops to zero, dead glassy, and we’ve got a clean 2 ft swell rolling in from the west with a really long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reads 204 (moderate). The glassy conditions will make it look like a mirror. The only thing to keep in mind is that a long period swell like this can break a bit straight on a beach setup, but Stinky Bay is a reef, so it should handle it nicely. The water is still warm, and the wind is calm. That’s your window. The afternoon sees a cross-on breeze come up and spoil it, so get in early.
The rest of the run is a no-go. The swell is small, the wind is messy, and the few times it does get clean, like on the 19th and 22nd, the swell is too tiny to get excited about. The 19th of September morning has a clean offshore wind from the east with 3 ft swell, but it’s just not enough push for a good session.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got a long dry spell, then a single, promising morning on the 23rd of September. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the charts, but if it holds, that glassy morning at Stinky Bay could be a real treat.
Rusty.

Information about the Stinky Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Stinky Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Stinky Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Stinky Bay 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 (Stinky Bay) 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 Stinky Bay 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.
