The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real—this forecast is a bummer. Spanish House is the only spot on the list, and for the next two weeks, it’s looking pretty flat and messy. Small, short-period windswell, onshore winds, and not a single proper push. If you’re set on getting wet, there’s one small window around August 17th that might just be rideable, but it won’t be pretty.
Right now, Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are a total wash. We’re talking 2ft to 5ft from the ESE/E, but the period is only 5 to 8 seconds—that’s just chop, no real energy. Winds are onshore (ESE, 12 to 19 mph), with a chance of thunderstorms. Wave energy is weak, sitting between 33 and 233. Water temp is 82°, which is about 3° cooler than normal for early August—you’ll feel that difference, so maybe a thin wetsuit top.
The weekend of the 8th and 9th stays poor. Saturday has 4ft from the E at 8 seconds, but winds are cross-onshore and it’s choppy. Energy is moderate (185-183), but it’s messy. Sunday drops to 3ft, energy falls back to weak (80-93), and it’s still not clean.
Monday the 10th through Wednesday the 13th—skip it. Waves drop below 3ft, periods are short (6-7 seconds), and it’s a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds. There’s a brief glassy moment on Tuesday morning with 2ft and no wind, but it’s tiny, and energy is only 29. Not worth the paddle.
Thursday the 14th to Saturday the 16th—still bad. Swell drops to 0.7ft to 1ft, periods all over the place from 4 to 9 seconds. There’s a glassy patch on Friday morning with zero wind, but it’s knee-high at best. Combined energy is basically nothing (12 to 39).
Now, the one faint hope: Monday the 17th. We might finally get something that could be called “surfable.” It’s a modest 2ft from the E at 9 seconds, and the morning has a light SSW cross-off breeze (6 mph) that keeps it clean. Energy is still weak (43), and the break is inconsistent, so you’ll be sitting around, but it’s the only time in the whole forecast where conditions aren’t actively bad. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar, so the small size works, but don’t expect any power.
After that, it fades again. Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 20th—still sub-2ft, weak energy, and winds swinging onshore or cross-onshore. There might be a tiny lift on Thursday morning with 2ft from the NE, but it’s still short-period (7 seconds) and not worth the drive.
So, bottom line: this is a real dry spell. No standout days, no big swell, and no proper groundswell in sight. Spanish House is inconsistent at the best of times, and this window is testing everyone’s patience. If you’re really itching, the 17th morning is your best bet, but keep the expectations low. Otherwise, it might be time to give the board a rest and wait for something better.

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.
