The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – Stinky Bay (Stinky-Bay) is looking pretty flat and messy for the next couple of weeks. Starting off Saturday the 5th, you’ve got a weak 3ft west-northwest swell at 11 seconds, but the wind’s cross-shore and the water’s a warm 67° – that’s about 4° above average, so it’s noticeably warm. But the surf is marginal, energy’s weak at 268, and it’s just not worth the paddle.
Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th get worse – swell drops to 2–4ft, winds swing cross-off or cross-on, and energy stays feeble to moderate. Monday morning has a 14-second groundswell at 3ft, but the wind’s onshore at 12 mph, so it’s chopped. Tuesday the 8th brings a 5ft west swell at 10 seconds, energy 489, but it’s blowing 22 mph onshore – messy, not surfable.
Wednesday and Thursday stay small and sloppy. Friday the 11th sees a bigger 7ft west swell at 7 seconds, energy 416, but that short period and fresh onshore wind make it lumpy. Then comes a long stretch of tiny, ordinary surf from Saturday the 12th through Wednesday the 16th – mostly 1–2ft, with occasional 2–3ft pulses. The wind turns offshore a lot, which is clean, but there’s just no size. Sunday morning the 13th is the pick of that run: 2ft at 10 seconds, light offshore ENE wind, energy 94 – surfable but very ordinary.
The second week picks up a bit around Thursday the 17th – a 3ft west-northwest swell at 7 seconds, fresh offshore east wind, energy 121. Still small, but clean. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th stay around 2–3ft with offshore winds, weak energy. Sunday the 20th offers 3ft at 10 seconds with moderate offshore ENE wind, energy 128 – again, clean but gutless.
Honestly, the best on offer is early Thursday the 17th – not big, but that offshore wind and the west-northwest swell will give you the cleanest, most rideable waves. Still small, so don’t expect barrels. Water’s warm, winds are mostly offshore later on, but the swell just doesn’t show. Crowds are often around Stinky Bay, so even on those tiny clean days, you might have company. This whole stretch is more about patience than excitement – bring a longboard and low expectations.

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.
