The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what we got for Spanish House.
The 16-day window starts off pretty grim, to be honest. The first week is a write-off – no good surf at all. You’re looking at a solid eight days of nothing really worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the conditions are just messy. A few mornings look glassy on the 13th and 14th of September, but those waves are only 2ft with weak energy (around 38-45), so it’s barely a ripple. Not worth getting wet for.
Then we hit a real quiet stretch from the 15th through to the 22nd. The swell bumps up a bit on the 16th (5ft to 6ft) but the period is short at 7 seconds and the wind is a strong cross-onshore. The energy reads moderate (around 229-292), but with that wind, it’s just gonna be lumpy and choppy. Not for beginners – that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
The real standout kicks off on the 23rd of September. That’s the one to circle on your calendar. Wednesday morning the 23rd we get a 6ft swell from the NE with a period of 9 seconds, but the kicker is the wind – clean cross-offshore from the SSW at 9 mph. That’s going to groom the wave face nicely. The combined energy jumps right up to 834, which is solid energy. Expect very good surf conditions. This is the best on offer.
Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th follow up with similar setups – 5ft to 6ft from the ENE, offshore to cross-off winds, clean conditions, and energy readings around 423 to 502. That's a solid little run of good waves for anyone who can handle a 5ft-plus swell. Not for beginners, but experienced surfers will be stoked.
Then Saturday the 26th looks special – glassy conditions in the morning with a 7ft ENE swell. That’s big enough to get excited about, but the period is 8 seconds, which means it’ll be a bit crumbly at a beach break. Still, 570 energy and flat calm wind? That’s a session worth waking up early for. Just know it’s more for the experts at that size.
Water temp on the 11th is 84°, about normal for the time of year. No anomaly to speak of.
So the long and short of it: don’t bother until the 23rd of September. From the 23rd to the 26th, you’ve got the best stretch of the whole outlook. Clean, offshore-influenced, moderate-sized swell with proper energy. That’s where the stoke is.

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.
