The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at our local haunt, Stinky Bay.
Honestly, mate, it's a bit of a flat spell we're in right now. The next week and a half is looking pretty slim, with waves barely tickling 1 ft most days. There is a bit of activity kicking up around the 26th of July, but the wind's gonna be howling straight onshore, making a mess of things. You're really better off waiting for the cleaner windows.
The water's sitting at about 66°, and it's running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the rubber might feel a bit more comfortable than usual.
Now, if you're desperate for a paddle, the pick of a pretty average bunch is Wednesday the 22nd of July. Early morning we get a proper glass-off, with the wind dropping to zero. You'll have the lineup to yourself for a bit, paddling out on a 1 ft W swell. It's tiny, sure, but glassy and clean, and with the combined swell energy weak at just (17), you won't be fighting for much. The offshore is out of the NNE, so take what you can get.
Things get a tiny bit more interesting heading into the very end of the month. Monday the 28th of July sees the biggest push of the whole outlook, with a 4 ft swell from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate (222), and the wind is blowing cross-off from the North, so it should be reasonably clean. For Stinky Bay, that's the best combo on offer. The period is a touch short at 9 seconds, but for a reef break like this, it should still offer up some grovelly little corners.
After that, it fades back into the doldrums. By the 2nd of August, we get another glassy morning with a 2 ft WNW swell, but again, it's a small one for the patient soul.
So, to wrap it up: the standout is the 28th of July for the biggest, cleanest waves, but don't expect any hero rides. The rest of the time, the surf is just not cooperating. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, this is a lean run for Stinky Bay.

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.
