Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spanish House over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Spanish House. This setup is a beginner-friendly sandbar, but the first week and a half, well, it's a long wait. We're looking at a lot of nothing. Knee-high slop with weak, short-period energy. The wind just won't cooperate. The water is about 85°, a touch warmer than normal, but that's the only good thing. The wave energy is barely there in the beginning.
From Wednesday, September 16th, we get a jump in size to about 6 to 7 feet, but the period is a lousy 7 seconds. That means it's just a lumpy, choppy windswell, all from the NE. It's got moderate energy behind it, but the cross-onshore wind will tear it to shreds. No good for beginners, and not great for anyone else either.
The poor conditions drag on, but the story changes in the last week of September.
The real highlights are Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th. On the 24th, the swell is a solid 6 feet from the ENE with a decent period of 9 seconds. The energy is strong, and the wind is the star of the show. It will be glassy in the afternoon and blowing offshore in the morning. The surf will be clean and powerful. Then Friday the 25th, we get a bigger swell of 7+ feet from the same direction, with very strong energy. Offshore winds in the morning again. This is the biggest, best looking swell of the whole run here.
Because the period is 9 seconds, it might not be a perfectly peeling point break wave, but with the wind this good, it will be the cleanest and most powerful the sandbar will see. That Friday morning could be pushing over 8 feet, so it's more for experienced surfers, but this spot is inconsistent, so when it's on, it's a treat.
Saturday the 26th still has clean 5-foot surf in the morning, but it's a drop-off from the peak.
So, to sum it up: a long, boring stretch, and then a very short, sharp, clean window on the 24th and 25th. Those two days are your only shot, and they're going to be good.
