The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Spanish House sandbar, because straight up, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The waves are tiny and the quality just isn’t there for most of the run, so we’ve got a long wait before anything even gets close to interesting.
We kick things off on Sunday the 26th of July. The swell is only 2ft from the east with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. Combined swell energy is low at 43. The water temperature is 82°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Wind is light and cross-off in the morning, so the surf is clean but very ordinary. It’s ridable, but you’d be paddling out for the sake of it. Afternoon turns onshore and messy. No good.
From Monday the 27th through to the end of July, it’s much of the same. Swell drops to 0.7ft–2ft, periods stay short, and the combined energy hovers between 6 and 35. Offshore winds make for clean mornings, but there’s just no power behind it. You’ll be scratching for a ripple.
The first week of August doesn’t change the story. The 4th of August Tuesday morning brings a tiny bump to 3ft from the ESE, but the period is a short 5 seconds. Energy jumps slightly to 59, but it’s still just surfable, nothing more. The morning is glassy, which is nice, but the waves are weak. Afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy.
The 7th of August Friday morning gives us another glassy moment, with 2ft from the ESE, short period again, and combined energy of 46. It’s clean but forgettable. The pattern drags on through to the 10th of August, with nothing cracking the 3ft mark and energy staying well below 100. The winds are mostly light, and the swell direction stays east to east-northeast.
There’s no standout session here. Not one day gets close to being worth a special mention. The swell never reaches 5ft, so it’s never too big, but it’s also never enough. The crowd factor at Spanish House is “sometimes,” so you won’t be fighting for waves, but that’s because there’s not much to fight for.
To be honest, this stretch looks better for someone on a longboard or a foil, or maybe even a kite if the wind picks up properly. For a standard paddle surf, it’s a long, flat run with barely a glimmer.
Stay hopeful – forecasts can shift, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
Spanish House is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Sebastian. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sebastian. Sebastian has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
