Stinky Bay (Singapore Coast)

Stinky Bay is a small, sandy, shallow flat-water kitesurfing spot on Singapore’s coast near Changi. Riders target smoother sessions over sandbanks in a tropical climate where boardshort-only conditions are typically possible. Wind is best in the monsoon-driven seasons, with a described best-direction window of NNE, NE, S, SSW, and SW and best months including January, February, March, June, July, August, September, and December. A steady gust profile is suggested, and there can be occasional afternoon sea-breeze/sea-lift influence during lighter-gradient conditions. Access is the defining constraint. Overland access has been blocked since June 2009 with guardhouses controlling roads and non-authorized vehicles turned back; getting to the water requires a boat launch from elsewhere in the Changi area. Because the spot may fall close to restricted airport/airbase and regulated zones, you should ensure you have the correct permits/authorization and also follow maritime notices. Safety-wise, the spot is associated with restricted military/industrial zones, maritime security patrols, and hazards such as large ship wakes, strong tidal currents in deeper channels, and submerged debris from reclamation (along with possible turbulence near northern reclaimed edges). With no lifeguards and no rescue availability reported at the spot, this is best treated as a high-responsibility destination for riders who can manage logistics and conditions.
