The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer coming up for Spanish House.
Honestly, it’s gonna be a tough stretch. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’re talking tiny, weak waves with almost no energy behind them, and the wind’s mostly gonna be a pain. Don’t get your hopes up for a proper paddle for a while.
The first whisper of something that might be worth a wet look doesn’t show up until the morning of September 8th. That’s over a week and a half away. We’ll have a 2ft swell from the ENE, but the real star is the offshore wind from the WSW, so the surface should be clean. The period is a short 9 seconds, so not a lot of grunt, and the energy is still low (87). It’s surfable, but only just. It’s nothing to get excited about, just the first chance to get wet without feeling like you’re fighting a losing battle.
The next morning, September 9th, looks a little better. The swell stays around 2ft from the NE, but the period bumps up to 11 seconds, which gives it a bit more shape. With a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW, it’ll be clean. Combined energy is moderate (139). This is probably the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still very ordinary.
The morning of September 10th offers a similar deal with a clean offshore wind and a 2ft NE swell, but it’s low energy again (86). Nothing to make a special trip for.
So, to sum it up: you’re looking at a long, dry spell. The first week is all tiny, blown-out mush. The only real standouts are those two mornings on the 9th and 10th of September, and even those are just "surfable" rather than "good." The water is a warm 86°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
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.
