The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about Spanish House over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a tough stretch. For the first ten days or so, there’s really nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny – mostly 1ft to 2ft – and the wind is all over the place, often cross-onshore or onshore, with a lot of stormy weather and thunderstorm risks. The energy is weak, sitting between 11 and 56, which is barely a bump. Spanish House is an exposed sandbar that’s inconsistent, so this kind of flat, messy run is pretty normal for the area. Beginners could paddle around on the glassy Saturday morning (1 August) when it’s 1ft from the east with glassy conditions, but it’s still poor surf. That’s about as good as it gets in the first week.
Then we hit the second week. Around Saturday 8 August, the swell starts to pick up a little, hitting 3ft from the east with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy jumps to 189 – moderate power. But the wind is cross-onshore both morning and afternoon, so it’s choppy and messy. Not worth the drive.
The real standout arrives on Tuesday morning, 11 August. The swell is 3ft from the east-northeast, with a period of 11 seconds, delivering 261 units of moderate-strong energy. That’s groundswell quality. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – so it’s going to be clean as a whistle. This is a sandbar and with that longer period, the waves might be a little straight, but with glassy conditions and that energy, it’s the best the window has to offer. Crowds are possible here at Spanish House, so get there early.
Wednesday morning, 12 August, is also worth a look: 3ft from the same direction, 11 seconds, 263 energy, with light cross-offshore wind from the SSW. Clean conditions again. Not quite as perfect as the glass, but still very good.
After that, the swell fades back down through the rest of the week. Thursday and Friday mornings, 13 and 14 August, offer surfable but ordinary waves around 2-3ft, with clean-ish cross-off winds, but the energy drops to 154 and then 81 – weak.
So bottom line: if you’ve got a free Tuesday morning (11 August) or Wednesday morning (12 August), that’s your window. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and has some push. The rest is mostly a write-off.
Stay patient, and check back in case the forecasts shift.

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.
