The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming our way at Stinky Bay.
Honestly, it's a bit of a rough patch for the first week and a half. There's a huge gap of poor conditions from now until the end of the first week of September. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing strong at 25 to 40 mph, making the water choppy and messy. The swell is all over the place, and the energy is weak to moderate, with most readings under 1000 (like 119 on Saturday morning, 343 on Sunday morning). It's not worth your time to paddle out.
The first real chance for a decent session shows up on the morning of Monday, September 7th. The wind turns light offshore from the NE at 6 mph, which is a huge plus. The swell is only 3 ft from the W with a 10 second period, but the energy is building (264). The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year, with the anomaly at 3°C, so it's noticeably warm. This is the standout session of the entire forecast – clean lines and a bit of west energy. Good for an intermediate surfer.
The morning of Tuesday, September 8th is another solid option with a clean cross-offshore breeze and a 4 ft swell from the WNW (9 second period, energy 295). It's a good backup, but Monday morning is the one to aim for.
After that, the swell dies and the wind turns back onshore, leaving the last few days flat. So, plan for the morning of the 7th if you want a clean wave.

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.
