G’day, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – this forecast for the Stela Maris area is a tough one. Over the next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a whole lot of onshore junk and very few moments worth chasing. The water is sitting around 80°, which is about normal for the season. There’s a painful eight-day dry spell at the start with nothing worth a paddle.
The first real chance pops up on Wednesday morning, July 8th. A small SSE groundswell rolls in at around 2ft (12-second period, so decent shape) with a clean cross-off breeze from the north. The energy is moderate (239). It’s not a big day by any stretch, but it’ll be the cleanest thing around.
Then Thursday morning, July 9th, brings a similar pulse: about 3ft from the SSE at a long 12 seconds, with a glassy north wind at just 3 mph. Clean, light, surfable. Small, but the conditions will make it work.
After that, the wind turns back on it – cross-onshore and onshore flow through the weekend and into the next week. We get another brief look on Saturday morning, July 11th, with some SSE energy at 3ft on a 13-second period, but the east wind is on it and it looks choppy.
The standout of the whole run is that Thursday morning, July 9th. That 3ft SSE swell with the light north breeze is the cleanest wave you’ll get. Not a big day, but for this stretch, it’s the one to pencil in.
The rest of the 16 days is mostly small, messy, and uninspiring. If you really need a fix, bring a groveler and don’t expect much.
Rusty.

Information about the Stela Maris Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Stela Maris provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Stela Maris can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Stela Maris 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 (Stela Maris) 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 Stela Maris 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.
