The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you: the next 16 days at Stela Maris are looking like a total dud. I've scanned the whole period, and there's not a single good session on the cards. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, so anything that shows up will be a choppy, blown-out mess.
Right from the get-go on Monday afternoon, the 24th of August, we've got a tiny 0.7m ESE swell with a weak 7-second period. The combined energy is only 53, and with a 20 km/h onshore breeze, it's a flat, windy nothing.
Tuesday the 25th is more of the same. Morning brings 1.1m from the E with a short 6-second period and 20 km/h onshore wind, energy around 132. The afternoon is weird: 0.5m from the S with a long 15-second period and energy of 207, but it's still onshore. A long period groundswell that small, with that wind, is just a tease.
From Wednesday the 26th right through the end of the first week, it's a steady diet of poor surf. We get a bit of a NE breeze on Wednesday morning, but it's cross-onshore on 0.6m S swell. The energy climbs to 281 on Wednesday afternoon, but it's all onshore chop. Thursday the 27th morning is the closest we get to "marginal" with a 1/10 score – a tiny 0.5m S swell at a massive 17-second period and 366 energy, but the wind is a light cross-onshore. Not worth it.
The second week doesn't get any better. From the 31st of August through the 5th of September, the swell sticks around 1.3m to 1.4m from the E with short 7-8 second periods. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, keeping it choppy. The 31st morning gets a "marginal" nod (score 1/10) with 1.3m and a light 10 km/h cross-shore wind, but it's still not good.
The very end of the run, around the 7th of September, shows some 1.2m S swell, but by then the wind is fresh and lumpy. It's a full 16-day dry spell. It's a bummer, but it happens around here. Keep an eye on the forecast – it can flip. Rusty out.

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.
