The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the charts for the next 16 days… and I gotta be straight with ya. It’s a flat spell. A real desert out there. We’re looking at a solid run of nothing worth paddling out for.
We’ve got Spanish House on the radar, but it’s barely a blip. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. From Wednesday the 15th right through to Wednesday the 29th, it’s all “poor surf conditions” with combined energy readings barely cracking 30 or 40 – that’s weak, weak stuff (33). The swell never gets over 3 ft, with periods mostly under 8 seconds, which is just wind chop, not groundswell.
The only tiny flicker of something is on the morning of Thursday the 30th. The wind goes glassy from the south, and the swell is a measly 1 ft from the east, but with a period that stretches to 9 seconds. That’s a bit more organised. The water is a warm 84°, which is about average for the time of year – nothing weird there. But even then, the energy is only 25. You’d be on a foamie or a longboard, just bobbing around. If you’re desperate, maybe the morning of the 22nd, which is also glassy, but the swell is even smaller.
Honestly, this is a classic summer lull for this area. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, kicking up a chop. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s nothing to get excited about. Don’t sell your board, but don’t plan your week around it either. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
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.
