The Lowdown
Alright, pull up a sand dune and listen close. I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for Spanish House. Gotta be straight with you – it's a tough outlook.
Right now through the middle of August, there's just nothing doing. We're looking at a blank run where you won't want to bother paddling out. Tiny swell, messy conditions, and the wind is just wrong. The water is sitting at 82°, which feels a bit colder than normal for this time of year – you'll notice that chill on those long waits between waves. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking double digits most days. It's the kind of setup where you're better off finding something else to do.
Even when we get a little bump of energy around Friday the 7th of August, hitting 4 ft from the east, it’s coming in with a short, choppy period of 7 seconds and onshore wind. The combined energy gets moderate, but it’s still tagged as poor surf. The sandbar is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so you need a lot to get it going – and we just don't have that. This pattern looks like a long, stubborn stretch.
For a beginner break that needs an east-northeast swell, this is a tough stretch. The truth is, with significant swell but poor quality and strong cross-onshore winds over a beach setup, this might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you're desperate, keep an eye on Wednesday the 5th of August morning – we get a glassy surface with the ESE breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft with 7 seconds. It'll be clean, but it'll be flat.
Honestly, this is a classic, frustrating period for the spot. When it's this quiet, it tends not to stay poor forever, but for the next two weeks, you're looking at a gamble. Save your wax.
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.
