Table - best surf conditions forecast for Stinky Bay over the next 16 days.
Grab your board, but maybe don't get your hopes up too high. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet around here. Honestly, there's a big ol' gap of nothing good to start, so we're waiting a while for anything worth paddling out for.
We do have one spot to talk about, and it's a bit of a wildcard. Stinky Bay is a reef break, and it's the only game in town for this whole 16-day stretch. The water is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real chance you'll get is on Thursday morning, July 9th. It's not going to blow your mind, but it's the best of a quiet bunch. We're looking at a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the W with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at (67). The wind is light and from the N at 9 mph, keeping things clean. It's surfable, but very ordinary. Friday morning, July 10th, also has a small 2ft W swell, but the wind goes offshore from the E at 12 mph, which will make for some clean little lines. It's still tiny stuff though.
After that, it really drops off. We get into a long stretch from the 11th through to the 19th of July where the swell is either non-existent or just too small and weak to do anything with. The energy numbers drop right down into single digits and teens. We get a few mornings of strong offshore wind, which sounds great, but when the swell is only 0.3ft to 1.0ft, all that wind does is make it impossible to even paddle into anything. It's a classic case of all wind and no wave.
So, to be straight with you, there are no real standouts here. This is a long blank run, and honestly, that's pretty normal for this area when the swell goes to sleep. You might get a couple of fun little ankle-snappers on Thursday and Friday morning of the 9th and 10th, but don't expect anything with any push. It's a waiting game now.

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.
