The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Spanish House is a bit of a tough one. This spot is an inconsistent sandbar that really needs a specific swell angle to work, and over the next 16 days, we just don't get the right mix. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so that's at least one thing that feels good.
Right from the start on Sunday, August 30th, it's a no-go. We've got a weak little 2 ft swell from the east with a short period of only 5 seconds, and an onshore wind. The combined energy is a measly 45 – just not enough to push anything. That pattern pretty much sticks for the first week. Monday the 31st sees a tiny 2 ft swell with glassy conditions in the morning, which is a tease, but the energy is still way too low at 59. The rest of that week is a blur of poor surf, small easterly wind swell, and cross-onshore or onshore winds. We get a little bump mid-week on Wednesday, September 2nd, with the swell hitting 3 ft and the energy climbing to 144, but the period is still short at 11 seconds and the wind is onshore, so it's a messy, choppy affair. Not worth paddling out for.
There's a gap of a few days with really nothing to recommend apart from a couple of clean, glassy moments on small, tiny waves. Saturday, September 5th sees a shift, with a 3 ft swell from the SSE but a short 5-second period and a strong cross-shore wind. The energy is 75, but it's just a messy, cross-chop situation. The afternoon gets clean, but the swell drops to 1 ft.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is the period from Sunday, September 7th, right through to the end of the forecast. The wave heights are tiny, mostly 1.0 ft to 2 ft, but the wind turns very favorable. Wednesday afternoon, September 9th, offers a clean 2 ft swell from the east with a 10-second period and a cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is 116. It's the best we'll see, but it's still knee-high at best. Then on Thursday, September 10th, we get a morning with gentle offshore winds and a clean 2 ft wave. The energy is 49, but it's just not enough to get excited about. The long period of 14 seconds on Tuesday, September 8th is a tease, but on a 0.7 ft wave, it's just a flat, glassy morning.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there's no proper swell. The consistent easterly wind swell is too weak and short-period to make Spanish House work. The best you'll find are a few clean, glassy mornings with waves that are barely a ripple. If you're desperate for a paddle, you might get a few clean, tiny waves, but don't expect to stand up much. The long range into the second week looks the same – small, weak, and not worth planning for. The set-up is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer with these conditions.

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.
