The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk Stinky Bay. I've had a look at the next 16 days and honestly, there's not a single session I'd paddle out for. The whole window is a write-off for surf. The water's sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (anomaly 4°), but that's about the only interesting thing. Stinky Bay is a reef break that's fairly consistent and exposed to west swell, but we're not getting any decent swell direction or size. The biggest pulse comes on July 25th, maybe 5 ft from the west, but with a short period of 6 seconds and onshore wind, it's just messy. The rest of the time it's tiny – 0.7 ft to 2 ft – with poor conditions. Winds are mostly cross-off or cross, but the swell is too weak to bother. On the 31st there's a little bump in energy (103), but again cross-on wind and lumpy. So yeah, nothing to get excited about. The good news is Stinky Bay is a fairly consistent spot, so this flat spell won't last forever. Keep an eye on the charts. 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.
