The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The run-up to anything decent is a long, dry spell. We're looking at a solid gap from now, through the 17th of August, all the way until the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. That's ten days of barely a ripple. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly messy, and the wave comment is stuck on "poor surf conditions." It's a real bummer.
Then, finally, we get a window. Thursday the 27th of August morning is the one standout in this whole 16-day outlook. Spanish House is a sandbar setup, and it's inconsistent, so it doesn't break often, but when it does... This morning session is looking special. We've got a 3ft swell rolling in from the ESE, with a period of 12 seconds – that's a proper groundswell with some travel behind it. The combined energy jumps to 238 (moderate energy), which is the biggest push we see. The wind is glassy, dead calm from the NW. That means the surface will be like a mirror. For a spot that's exposed to the NNE, this ESE direction isn't dead-on, but with that kind of quality wind and a solid, long-period pulse, it's going to be the best option by a mile. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
The rest of the first week of September is a bit of a letdown after that. The swell drops back down, the wind goes onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy figures are low. The only other sessions that are even "surfable" are the morning of Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of August, with tiny 2ft waves and clean cross-offshore winds, but the energy is weak (95 and 78), and the quality is just ordinary. For a beginner-level spot like Spanish House, the bigger 3ft pulse on the 27th is the one to aim for.
So, to sum it up: you've got a long wait, but the morning of Thursday the 27th of August is the real deal. Mark it in your calendar.

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.
