The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, but I’ll be honest with you, the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a bummer. There’s no real swell to speak of, and the windows of clean conditions are few and far between.
The first decent look at the surf comes on Sunday, September 6th, but even then, it’s tiny. We’re looking at the sandbar at Spanish House. On Sunday morning, with a light offshore breeze out of the southwest, it’ll be clean, but the swell is a measly 1ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak (11), so you’ll be on a longboard, maybe a foamie, just enjoying the glide. The water temperature is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
Monday the 7th looks similar – clean again in the morning with a light offshore from the west, but still only 1ft. You’ll be scratching for anything. Tuesday the 8th brings a morning of glassy conditions with no wind at all, but the swell stays tiny at 1ft. The period jumps to 11 seconds, which is a nice groundswell, but there’s just no height to work with.
After that, the wind turns ugly. From Wednesday the 9th through to the end of the forecast, we see a lot of onshore and cross-onshore winds, with speeds picking up. The swell does try to push a bit on Monday, September 14th, with the combined energy hitting 223 and a wave height of 5ft from the ENE. But the period is a short, weak 7 seconds, and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 15 mph, making it choppy and messy. That’s not one for the paddle surfers, it’s more of a kite or windsurf day.
The bottom line is, there are no true standouts here. If you’re desperate for a paddle on a longboard, target the glassy or offshore mornings of the 6th, 7th, and 8th of September. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf. It’s a dry spell, but don’t lose hope – forecasts can always change.
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.
