The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a lean run on the horizon for Stinky Bay. The whole 16-day window looks pretty grim for quality surfing. The only real pulse of size comes in the second week, but the wind is on it, so it’s a write-off.
Right now, we’re staring down a long, dry spell. The first half of the outlook is dominated by tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. From July 27th right through to the early days of August, the swell is tiny – mostly under 2ft – and the wind is either cross, cross-on, or straight onshore, making it choppy and messy. The wave energy is really low, barely registering above 100 (162) even on the biggest of those small days. It’s not worth paddling out for.
This flat spell drags on until around August 6th. There’s a bit of a jump in size on the 6th, with a 5ft to 6ft swell coming in from the WSW, but the wind is blowing fresh from the ENE and NE, and the swell period is a short 6 seconds. Despite the “clean” descriptor, the quality is still poor, and the energy (267) is still moderate at best. It’s not a surfer’s swell.
Thursday, August 7th, is the only day that even gets a flicker of a recommendation. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best you’ll get. On the Friday morning, the combined energy is moderate (233) with a 5ft swell from the west and an 8-second period. The wind is a gentle, cross-off breeze from the NE, which will keep it reasonably clean. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a small, clean wave for the die-hards, but the swell is directional from the WNW, which is not the optimum W direction for this reef break. It’s a consolation prize, not a celebration.
After that, the weekend of August 8th-9th sees a jump in power – the swell hits 7ft and the energy rockets up to 647, but it’s all onshore wind from the SW and W, making it a total washout. That’s big, ugly, and dangerous. Then it all fades back into the pitiful small stuff for the rest of the run.
So, to be honest, there’s nothing here to get excited about. The best advice is to wait for the next forecast window. This is a blank run for Stinky Bay.
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.
