The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, mate. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We're looking at a long gap of small, lumpy, and generally uncooperative conditions before we finally see a glimmer of something surfable. The water temp is sitting at about 83°F here at Spanish House, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so the steamer can stay in the cupboard.
The first real chance to get wet isn't until Friday the 24th of July. The morning session is the pick of the week, with a tiny bit of glassy, clean conditions on a 2ft SSE swell. The energy is weak (66), and it's not going to blow anyone's socks off, but with the wind going glassy, it's the only window where the surface is clean. The afternoon swings onshore and gets messy again.
From there, we slide into a poor run. The morning of Saturday the 25th has a bit of cross-shore wind and a small 3ft E swell (85 energy), but it's still pretty ordinary. The swell is weak and the wind is never your friend. There's a chance on Sunday the 26th morning with a clean cross-offshore breeze and a 2ft E swell, but it's barely a ripple.
The situation doesn't improve much into the start of August. We get a handful of clean mornings thanks to some cross-offshore winds, like on the 28th and 29th of July, but the swell is tiny—1ft to 2ft—with very low energy (20-53). You’d be on a longboard, if anything.
The one date to circle is Friday the 31st of July. The morning is glassy calm, with a 2ft E swell and a period stretching to 10 seconds. The energy is still low (49), but that longer period suggests a bit more shape and push than the junk we’ve been seeing. It’s still not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best of a very lean bunch.
The rest of the forecast through to the 4th of August is a write-off. Onshore winds, tiny swell, and the risk of thunderstorms. Don't hold your breath.
So, the honest truth? The best on offer is that glassy Friday the 31st of July morning at Spanish House. It’s not a classic, but it’s clean. The only other decent shout is the glassy morning of Friday the 24th of July. For everything else, you’re fighting the wind and the lack of swell. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a board-waxing and story-telling kind of week.
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.
