The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Stinky Bay.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it's a bit of a flat spell for Stinky Bay. There's a long stretch of very small, weak surf with poor conditions. The first real whisper of anything worthwhile doesn't show up until Monday morning, 27th of July. Until then, we're looking at tiny waves and pretty ordinary wind.
The water's sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the rubber's a bit more forgiving at least.
The standout window, and I mean the only real window, is shaping up for Monday morning, 27th July. The swell is only 3.3ft from the west, but the wind is forecast to be glassy. That's the key here. For a reef break like Stinky Bay, clean conditions are everything. The wave energy is moderate (137), so it's not a powerhouse, but it will be the cleanest, most user-friendly it gets the whole period. The swell period is a middling 8 seconds, so it's a bit of a mix of swells, but with that glassy morning, it'll be the pick of the bunch by a long shot.
The other spot to keep an eye on, but it's a long way off, is Saturday morning, 8th August. The swell pushes up to 4.6ft from the west, which is a solid boost, and the energy jumps to strong (317). The wind is cross-off and light, so it could clean up nicely. However, it's a long-range call, so take it as promising but not a lock. The afternoon looks like it gets chopped out by a moderate cross-shore, so the morning is the window.
Outside of those two scarce windows, it's a lot of small, weak surf with onshore or strong cross-offshore winds. The swell is frequently under 2ft and the energy is often in the low double digits (20-30 range), which is barely enough to stand up on. For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a pretty quiet run, but it's a normal part of the cycle for the area. There's a gap from the 29th of July right through to the 2nd of August where there's nothing worth paddling out for.

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.
