The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Right, let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer for Stinky Bay over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a lean run. The first surf that’s even worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Monday the 14th of September, and even then, it’s a real scrappy affair.
Overall, the pattern is pretty quiet. We’ve got a long gap of nothing from now until Monday the 14th, so don’t bother checking the cam until then. After that, we get small, inconsistent windows, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. The standout, if you can call it that, is Monday afternoon the 14th. The wind goes glassy out of the ENE, the sea flattens right out, and we get a tiny little 2 ft swell from the west at a short 8 seconds. Combined energy is weak at just 79. It’s not good surf, but it’s the only time the conditions are clean. For a beginner looking to get wet in flat water, it’s the pick of a grim bunch.
After that, the rest of the week is messy. Onshore winds, chop, and cross-shore breezes spoil most of it. By the time we get into the second week, from the 21st of September, the wind turns cross-offshore and the conditions look clean, but the swell dies right off – we’re talking 1 ft to 2 ft at best. Glassy conditions on Wednesday the 23rd morning, but with only 1 ft of west-northwest swell and period around 11 seconds, you’ll be bobbing around on tiny little lines. It’s not surfable in any meaningful way.
Stinky Bay is a reef break, intermediate level, and fairly consistent, but this forecast shows a poor run. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. Honestly, unless you’re desperate for a flat-water paddle on Monday the 14th afternoon, I’d give this stretch a miss. The setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer with the onshore winds later in the 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.
