The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, swapping over to feet and inches for you.
Looking at the full 16-day picture, it's a pretty flat and frustrating outlook. There’s no session that really gets the blood pumping. We’ve got a long run of small, weak swells, and the wind mostly has a nasty cross to onshore component. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 67°, but that’s the only notable detail.
The first session on Stinky Bay is for Wednesday, July 29th afternoon. You’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, with a short 8-second period. The wind is cross-shore at 12 mph, and the energy is weak (33). It’s a definite no-go.
Thursday, July 30th, into the start of August is more of the same. Swell holds at 1ft to 2ft. We get some cleaner windows—Friday morning, July 31st, has a cross-off wind from the north and a 2ft swell, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds, so it’s all bump and no power. The energy levels are all in the low double-digits.
Sunday morning, August 2nd, looks to be the cleanest window of this flat run. You’ve got a light offshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph with a 1ft, 8-second swell. The surface will be glassy, but you’d be fighting for any kind of ride.
In the second week, there’s a tiny bump on Saturday morning, August 8th. A 3ft swell from the SW shows up, but the period is a terrible 4 seconds—pure windswell junk. The energy is moderate (42) and the wind is a moderate cross-off from the east, so it’ll look clean. But that wave quality is going to be poor.
The rest of the run from August 9th onward is a slow fade to nothing. By the 11th and 12th, swell drops to under 1.0ft and energy is in the single digits. There’s a clean moment on Friday morning, August 7th, with a fresh offshore wind from the east at 19 mph, but the swell is only 0.6ft. Offshore wind on nothing.
The truth: There is no standout here. This is a total flat spell for Stinky Bay. The break is usually fairly consistent, but the ocean just isn't cooperating. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s time to do something else.
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.
