The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Spanish House. I’ve looked at what’s coming and, honestly, it’s a tough stretch for this spot. There’s a big gap right at the start with no real surf to speak of.
The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 1st through Monday the 3rd of August are looking at tiny, weak swell – barely 1ft to 2ft from the east, with short periods around 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak, reading between 14 and 46, so there’s just no power in the water. Winds are cross-off or glassy at times, which would be great if there was any wave to work with, but there isn’t. It’s a surfable wave but very ordinary conditions scenario, and the scores reflect that – it’s borderline flat.
Then from Tuesday the 4th right through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s a long, drawn-out run of poor surf. The swell stays tiny, maxing out at about 3ft, but the period is short and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore from the east or southeast. The wave energy is weak, never cracking 100 (mostly in the 30s to 80s range). The wind just ruins any chance of a clean wave. You’re looking at choppy, bumpy conditions day after day.
There is no standout day here. Nothing is screaming “go surf.” The best you could hope for is maybe a tiny window on Monday afternoon the 3rd, when the wind goes glassy and the swell bumps up to 2ft, but it’s still a very weak, short-period swell from the east. It’s not worth getting excited about.
For a beginner-friendly sandbar like Spanish House, this is a classic dry spell. It’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now, the ocean is just not cooperating. The water temp is about 82°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, but that’s the least of your worries.
Honestly, if you’re desperate to get wet, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent onshore winds and small, choppy waves. But for a proper surf, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast update.

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.
