The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Stinky Bay. Rusty here, and I’ll give it to you straight.
The next couple of weeks are mostly quiet. Water temp is about 19°, which is a touch warmer than usual, nothing crazy.
We start Monday, August 10th, with tiny 0.3m swell from the WNW, 9-second period, and cross-shore wind. Energy is only 30 (weak). It’s flat and choppy.
Tuesday the 11th stays small – 0.4m to 0.3m – but morning brings a clean offshore wind from the ENE. Period drops to 8 seconds, energy low (23). Clean, but barely surfable.
Wednesday the 12th is the first decent day. Swell is 0.4m to 0.5m from the W, with a 10 to 11 second period. Morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Energy hits 41 to 49. Small, but long-period and clean – you might find a few fun ones.
Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th see swell up to 0.7m to 0.8m, period 10 to 11 seconds, energy in the moderate range (102 to 145). But the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy.
Saturday the 15th has a fresh 30 km/h wind, but it’s cross-offshore, so the surface is clean. Swell is 0.8m from the W, 8-second period, energy 110 – short-period but rideable.
Sunday the 16th is clean with a light offshore in the morning, but swell is fading to 0.6m, period 8 seconds. Energy drops to 55.
From the 17th to the 22nd, it’s a long dry spell. Swell rarely reaches 0.6m, periods are short, and energy is mostly under 100. Wind is variable, but the waves are just not there.
Then Sunday, August 23rd, is the big one. A pulse of 2.5m from the W in the morning, 2.3m in the afternoon, with a 9-second period. Energy is 1087 (strong). It’s clean in the morning with a cross-offshore breeze. But that’s too big for Stinky Bay – this is a reef break, and it’ll be a washing machine. Experts only.
After that, it drops. Monday the 24th has 1.0m with onshore cross-wind and chop. Tuesday the 25th is a mess – 0.9m onshore, then a tiny 0.3m with a 16-second period, but no power.
So, the best bets are Wednesday, August 12th for small, clean, long-period waves, and Sunday, August 23rd for the big, expert-only swell. The rest is quiet.

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.
