The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—Stinky Bay is looking at a rough stretch. For the next 16 days, the waves are tiny, basically flat, and there’s nothing worth suiting up for. We’ve got a solid week or more of nothing.
Starting Friday, July 17, all the way through the end of the month, the wave heights are just 0.7ft to 1.0ft. The combined energy is weak, with most readings under 25. Sure, there are some clean moments with offshore winds, like Sunday morning July 19 with a fresh 19 mph offshore from the NE, and Wednesday morning July 22 is dead glassy. But with no swell, it’s a total waste. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 65°F.
Into the last week, from Tuesday, July 28, the swell tries to pick up a little, hitting 2ft to 2ft, and the energy climbs into the moderate range (27 to 80). But the wind turns nasty—onshore and strong cross-onshore, gusting up to 34 mph on July 30, blowing everything out. The swell period is short, 6 to 10 seconds, so it’s weak and messy. This is more of a kite-surfing kind of setup than a paddle-surfing one.
No standout days here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. Keep the board in the car for another week.
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.
