Alright, let’s break down what Stinky Bay’s got for ya.
Right out the gate, it’s looking lean. There’s a long, quiet stretch coming our way, and for most of the first week, you might as well leave the board in the car. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until a bit later.
That Thursday the 2nd is a mess. Swell is about 4ft from the WNW, but it's getting torn up by a 25 km/h cross-on wind. The combined energy is moderate (262), but the surface is choppy and ugly. Just skip it.
Friday the 3rd morning is your one and only real highlight for the first week. The swell drops to around 4ft from the W, with a solid 10-second period. A cross-off wind from the NNE at 15 km/h cleans it right up. Wave energy is still moderate (251). This is the session to go for. Crowds are often here, so expect some company in the lineup.
From there, things flatline. Saturday and Sunday drop to under 3ft, with onshore winds making a mess. Sunday morning the 5th has a moment of glassy conditions with a 2ft swell, but the combined energy is weak (91) – you can surf it, but it’s tiny. The rest of the first week and into the second is a dead zone. From the 6th through the 14th, the swell barely hits 2ft to 2ft. Even with clean wind, there’s just no power behind it.
The one wild card comes on Tuesday the 14th morning. A 3ft swell from the W rolls in with a very long 12-second period, and the energy jumps to moderate (213). The wind is light and onshore, but that long period could make for some interesting shapes over the reef. It’s called marginal, so keep your expectations in check. That’s a long-range look, so it’s promising but not a sure thing.
By Thursday the 16th, we get a small pulse: a 3ft swell from the W, 8-second period, energy at 133, with a moderate offshore wind from the ENE. It’s "surfable but very ordinary" – a short-period wave. Nothing to write home about, but at least you can get wet.
The standout is clear: Friday the 3rd morning is your best shot at a clean, fun session. After that, it’s a waiting game for the 14th or hoping the models change their tune.

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.
