The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with a look at Stinky Bay. Let's be real, it's gonna be a tough stretch for a while.
The next week or so is a write-off, I'm afraid. We've got a solid 6 days from Tuesday the 15th to Sunday the 20th of September where the conditions are just plain nasty. Onshore winds are howling, the ocean’s a mess, and the wave energy is weak to moderate – barely hitting triple digits. There's nothing to get excited about.
Things start to shift a touch on Monday the 21st. We finally see some clean conditions with light cross-offshore breezes, but the swell is tiny, only about 2ft, and it's a short-period W swell. The energy is still low (144). It’s not worth paddling out for, but at least the water’s clean.
We’ll see similar small, clean waves through Tuesday the 22nd with a 2ft to 2ft W swell. Hardly a ripple of energy (75 to 100). The wait continues.
Now, here’s a glimmer of hope. Wednesday the 23rd of September, we get a proper morning session. Offshore winds from the ENE, wave height just under 3ft at 3ft, but it’s swinging to the WNW with a nice 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 288 and we've got "expect good surf conditions" written all over it. That’s the only standout moment in the whole run. It won’t be big, but it’ll be clean and rideable.
After that, Thursday the 24th holds some okay cross-offshore swell at 3ft with a long 12-second period (energy 314), and Friday the 25th afternoon has a bit of a similar story but with a lovely 13-second period from the WNW (energy 303). The rest? It’s mostly clean but tiny or just plain not worth the effort.
Honestly, that Wednesday morning is your best bet. After that, we slide back into low-energy, clean but tiny swell through to the end of September. It's a lean period.
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.
