The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Spanish House. Gotta be honest with you, this forecast is a tough one to read. The whole 16-day window looks like a write-off for any decent surf. There’s a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for right from the start, and it just doesn't let up.
The first real chance we see is on the morning of Saturday, the 25th of July. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the east with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, just 80 (weak energy). It’s clean, with a light cross-offshore breeze, which is something, but the waves are just too ordinary. Calling it surfable is a stretch.
Then we get a repeat on the morning of Sunday, the 26th of July. Another 2 ft east swell, period of 8 seconds, and weak energy (47). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but again, it’s barely surfable. It’s the kind of day you’d only go for a paddle if you were desperate.
After that, it’s back to nothing. The mornings from the 27th of July through to the 3rd of August are mostly clean with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny, around 1 ft to 2 ft, and the energy is pathetic. There’s no push, no power. The afternoon winds get messy, chopping up what little is there.
The only slight change comes on the 2nd of August in the afternoon, where a 4 ft southeast swell pops up, but the period is a short 5 seconds and it’s a cross-shore situation with a thunderstorm risk. Not a recipe for quality.
Honestly, this is a blank run. Spanish House is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a classic example of that. There is no standout, nothing to get excited about. The water temperature is a balmy 83°F on the 19th of July, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only bright spot. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon onshores might offer something, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long wait.
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.
