Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for the imperial heads.
It’s a real flat spell stretchin’ out ahead for the next 16 days. Don’t rush to wax up. The water’s sittin’ around 75.6°F, which is a fair bit warmer than average for this time – nearly 4.9°F above normal, so definitely no need for a thick suit.
Right now and through the first week, it’s just weak and messy. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, often under 30. Most days have cross-on or onshore breeze, sometimes with storms, and the waves are tiny – usually 1ft or so, with short, weak periods. There are a couple glassy slots on Tuesday 7th morning (1.3ft, glass) and Saturday 11th morning (1ft, glass), but it’s too small to do much. Monday 13th morning has a clean offshore wind (N, 15 km/h) on a tiny 1.3ft SE swell, but it’s barely rideable.
From there, a long gap with nothin’ good. A few afternoons from the 14th into the 15th show slightly bigger swell – up to 3.9ft on Monday 13th afternoon and 4.3ft on Saturday 18th afternoon – but the wind is either cross-on or straight onshore, making it choppy. The energy gets into triple digits (104, 126, 142, 165), but it’s not quality. Sunday 19th morning has a 3.3ft SSE swell with 8 seconds and energy at 174, but onshore wind again spoils it.
No standout here. Stockton is consistent, but it’s always small or blown out in this forecast. For beginners, those glassy tiny windows are a maybe. For anyone else, it’s a pass. With those onshore winds later, this spot looks more suited to kites than paddles.

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