TL;DR
Travelers report steady wind on Stella Beach, although the sea was warm in September. For snorkeling, swim from the pier along the reef toward open water for better chances of seeing rays; turtles are less frequent, and November water-park operation is not confirmed.
Stella Beach can be consistently windy, based on visits in January, April and September. The sea was still reported as warm in September.

At Stella Beach, round gray rays with blue spots were seen regularly, while eagle rays were spotted three times over two weeks. A turtle was seen once, so turtle encounters should not be expected as guaranteed.
