The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Spanish House. This one’s a rough patch, no two ways about it. Over the whole 16-day window, there’s only one day that even gets close to being worth a paddle, and it’s not much to shout about.
We start off on Friday the 24th with a risk of thunderstorms and a weak 3ft easterly swell at 8 seconds, but it’s blowing onshore and messy. The combined swell energy is a weak 100 to 102 (moderate), but with that wind, it’s poor. Saturday the 25th drops to 2ft, with cross-shore winds making it choppy. Then Sunday the 26th is the only real glimmer—morning brings a glassy offshore breeze from the west with a tiny 2ft east swell. The energy is weak (43), and the break is inconsistent, so you’d be lucky to find a rideable lump. Still, it’s the cleanest window in the whole outlook.
After that, it’s a long, grim slide. From Monday the 27th right through to Saturday the 8th of August, the swell barely holds above 2ft on most days, often with onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water temperature on the first day is 82°, and with a 2° anomaly colder than normal, it’s a bit cooler than usual for this time of year.
The best of a bad bunch is Sunday the 26th morning. If you’re desperate, you could paddle out for a few ankle-biters with clean conditions. The swell is from the east, which is against the optimum NNE direction, so the shape won’t be anything special. Crowds are listed as “sometimes” possible, but honestly, with this lack of swell, you’ll have the place to yourself.
Everything else is flat or chopped out. The wind picks up strong from the southwest at times, especially late July into early August, with gusts of 19 mph and heavy rain. That’s more kite-surfing weather than paddle surfing. The beach and sandbar setup won’t hold any real energy.
So, bottom line: there’s no standout here. The only day with a pulse is Sunday the 26th morning, and even that’s a stretch. If you’re set on surfing, keep your expectations on the ground. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a long gap of poor to no surf. It’s a tough run for the area, but it won’t stay this way forever—forecasts can change.
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.
