The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Stinky Bay. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, really. We’ve got some surf coming, but you’re going to have to be patient and pick your windows carefully because the wind is going to be a problem for most of it.
Right now, things are looking pretty flat and messy. The first real chance to get wet doesn't look great until we get into the first week of September. There’s some small swell showing up, but the wind is all over the shop.
The first notable window pops up on the afternoon of Wednesday the 2nd. The swell is tiny, just 2ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak (68). The real draw here is the wind, which goes glassy. You’ll find clean, tiny little waves, nothing special but you won't be fighting the wind.
The big standout, the one you've been waiting for, is Saturday the 5th. We get a morning session with offshore wind from the East at 9 mph and a clean 6ft swell from the West. This is the pick of the whole outlook. The energy is moderate (219). Saturday afternoon sees the swell jump up to 8ft from the West, and it’s still manageable, though it gets a bit bigger. By Sunday the 6th, the swell is pushing 8ft and the combined energy is very strong (1153). This is expert territory, especially with a long 10-second period that will want to race down the reef. The afternoon of Sunday the 6th looks magic though—glassy conditions, 7ft of West swell (energy of 832), and the break could be absolutely pumping for the crew that knows what they're doing. Just know that over 8ft, this spot can get too big.
The rest of the second week is a write-off again. The wind comes back onshore and the surf stays messy, or it’s too big with bad wind. There’s a few cleaner days on the 11th, but the swell drops right off to 2ft, so it’s not worth chasing.
Honestly, for a spot like Stinky Bay that is fairly consistent, we’re looking at a long wait. The good news is that the early part of September has some real quality on offer if you can nail it.
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.
