Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what Stela Maris has in store for us. Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this isn’t looking like a classic run. The water’s sitting at a warm 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a hood.
The overall pattern is pretty flat and choppy for the first week. Most of the mornings and afterdays are blown out with onshore or cross-shore winds, and the swell stays small and weak. There’s a gap of about four days from the start until we finally get something worth paddling out for.
Wednesday, July 8th morning is the first real standout. The wind goes light and cross-off from the NNW, cleaning up a small but promising SSE groundswell at 3 ft with a long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy reads 274, moderate enough to make it interesting. That SSE direction is pretty much spot-on for what Stela Maris likes, and with clean conditions, this could be a fun little session for intermediates. The only bummer is that crowds are often here, so expect some company.
Then we’ve got another decent window on Saturday, July 11th morning – again light cross-off winds from the N, a little 3 ft SE swell at 11 seconds, and clean conditions. Combined energy at 290, once again moderate. Not huge, but it’ll be smooth and workable.
Sunday, July 12th morning shapes up similar: light N cross-off, 3 ft SE swell at 12 seconds, energy at 272, clean again. For intermediates, these three mornings are the pick of the whole forecast. After that, the second week drifts back into onshore junk and tiny, weak swell, so don’t book time off work expecting much.
Overall, the best bet is Wednesday July 8th morning, with Saturday and Sunday giving solid backups. It won’t blow your mind, but you’ll get a few clean ones if you’re sharp.

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.

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.
