Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight about it – this is a tough stretch for Stinky Bay. We’ve got a solid 16-day forecast window, but the first real glimmer doesn’t come until Monday the 6th. Up until then, the wind is just too messy for anything decent.
The week starts with a small bit of hope on Monday morning, the 6th. We’ll have a weak swell around 2ft from the WNW, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is a paltry 61, so it’s not going to be anything to write home about, but at least the surface will be clean. It’s surfable, but ordinary. That’s about as good as it’s going to get.
After that, the wind goes onshore again. From the 7th to the 11th, the swell drops to a measly 2ft and the conditions are just plain poor. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We get another little spike on the 12th, Sunday morning. The swell picks up to 3ft from the WNW, and the combined energy jumps into triple figures at 122 – moderate energy. Unfortunately, the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making the chop moderate and the waves messy. A couple days later on Tuesday the 14th, we get a similar sized pulse, but again the wind is all wrong, blowing cross-onshore.
The truth is, for the entire 16-day run, this reef setup is too small and too wind-affected to offer anything of real quality. Nothing here is a standout. If the swell was bigger and the conditions were clean, it would be a different story, but that’s not what’s on the table.
Stay patient, check back later. – 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.
