The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Stinky Bay has on offer over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this forecast is a bit of a tease. There’s almost nothing worthwhile for the first week and a half. A few small pulses of swell show up, but the wind is completely wrong almost the entire time, smashing things up with cross-onshore or onshore breezes. You’ll be sitting on the beach watching white wash for days. There is a long dry spell here, with only one or two very small windows of hope.
The best chance to wet a line doesn’t come until Monday the 14th of September. The afternoon is the pick. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the west with a short period of 7 seconds. The magic here is the wind: glassy conditions. Zero wind. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, so expect some clean, if a bit disorganised, walls. The combined energy is moderate (320). The water's been much warmer than normal for this time of year at 68°F, which is over 4°F above average. Crowds are often a thing here, so you’ll likely have company.
The next morning, Tuesday the 15th, is not far behind. It’s still okay, but not quite as clean. Swell is similar at 5ft from the west-northwest, period has bumped up to 10 seconds giving it more grunt (combined energy 492). The wind is a light cross-onshore, so the surface will have just a few ripples—still very surfable though.
Other than that, it's grim. There’s a brief moment early on Saturday the 5th of September with a small 3ft westerly swell and clean offshore winds from the ENE. It’s only surfable but pretty ordinary. That's about your only other chance before the main window.
So, to sum it up: wait until Monday the 14th of September afternoon. That’s your standout: Stinky Bay, glassy, with chest-high west swell. It’s not epic, but after a long wait, it’s the best we’ve got.

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.
