The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Look, I’ve had a proper squiz at the Spanish House sandbar, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. This spot is exposed to NNE swell, but almost every day we’re getting tiny little slop from the east or northeast with weak combined swell energy (mostly under 100). You’re looking at waves mostly between 1.0ft and 4ft, and that 4ft push on Wednesday the 9th still comes with onshore gunk and a combined energy of only 188 (moderate energy at best). On top of that, the swell period is a short choppy 8 seconds, so no real power. The whole stretch from now through to Tuesday the 22nd is basically one long flat spell with a couple of barely surfable windows.
The only two moments that even rate a mention are Friday morning the 11th and Sunday afternoon the 20th. Friday the 11th sees a 2ft ENE swell, 8-second period, with light offshore WSW wind at 3 mph – clean but small. Combined energy is a measly 54 (weak) and the water temp is about average for this time of year. Sunday the 20th afternoon has a 3ft NE swell, 7-second period, with a light offshore W wind at 6 mph and combined energy of 82 (still weak). It’s surfable but very ordinary.
Because this break is a sandbar that’s inconsistent, and we’ve got such tiny swell with poor conditions most days, the honest call is: there’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. Beginners might get away with the 2ft clean sets on the 11th if they’re keen for a practice, but otherwise – it’s a kite surfers’ window with onshores and chop. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a flat spell.
Rusty.

Information about the Spanish House Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Spanish House provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Spanish House can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Spanish House 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 (Spanish House) 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 Spanish House 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.
Spanish House is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Sebastian. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sebastian. Sebastian has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
