Table - best surf conditions forecast for Stela Maris over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's get into it in feet and miles per hour.
We're looking at Stela Maris, and the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. The first real chance to get wet doesn't come around until Sunday, July 12th. Before that, we've got a few days of small, choppy, and onshore junk that's not worth your time. That's a bit of a gap, but patience is a virtue.
Sunday morning the 12th is the standout. We've got clean 4ft waves rolling in from the SE with a solid 13-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore at about 3 mph, which is going to keep the surface glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 367, so there's enough push for a fun session on a longboard or a fish. It's looking like the best we'll see for a while.
The following days are a bit ordinary. Monday morning the 13th is surfable with small 3ft waves and clean conditions, but it's weak. The energy is only 157, so you'll be working for every wave. By Tuesday the 14th, the swell drops right off and the onshore wind kicks back in, making a mess of things.
Then we get a pulse of energy mid-week. Wednesday the 15th through to Friday the 17th sees a bigger swell, but it's bad news. The wind is howling from the SSE at 18-30 mph, onshore, and the period is short and choppy. We're looking at 7ft waves on Wednesday, but with a period of only 8 seconds and 18 mph winds, it's a washing machine. This is strictly for the experts, and even then, it's more of a survival mission than a fun session. The energy is strong at 547, but it's all raw power with no shape.
From the 18th through to the end of the forecast, it's a long run of poor conditions. The swell direction swings around to the ESE and E, but the winds are constantly onshore, keeping the surface bumpy and uninviting. The swell stays between 4ft and 6ft, but the period is short, which means weak, crumbly waves. The energy values are moderate, but it's all wrong for paddle surfing.
Honestly, for this stretch, if you're a kite surfer, you might find some fun in the wind and waves, but for a regular surfer, it's a tough watch. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit surprises at least.
So, keep your eyes on Sunday the 12th. That's your window. After that, it's a waiting game for the next decent swell.

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.
