Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spanish House over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up: this 16-day window for Spanish House is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy conditions that just won't line up. The first solid buzz doesn't even show until a full week out, so there's a big gap of flatness to get through.
Right now, and for the next several days, it's a write-off. That early part of the week is nothing but small dribbles around 0.7ft to 1ft, mostly from the ESE with weak energy readings down around 6 to 38 – all "poor surf conditions." Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and uninviting. You'd be wasting your time.
The first hint of something interesting arrives on Tuesday, August 18th. The morning shows a slight bump in energy to 52, with a clean offshore wind from the NNW making for clean-looking waves. The swell is still tiny at 1ft from the ESE, but that glassy morning window is the first real chance to get wet without tearing your hair out. Not a standout by any stretch, but it's the first sign of life.
Now, if you're holding out for the best of the bunch, keep your eyes on Wednesday, August 19th. The morning session sees a jump to a more noticeable 3ft groundswell from the east. The combined energy kicks up to a solid 181 – now we're talking. The wind is light and cross-shore, keeping the surface tidy. This is the best-looking wave energy we get all window, and the light breeze should let it set up alright for a beginner-friendly sandbar.
However, that east swell combined with a 12-second period will be packing more punch than the tiny dribbles before. For a beach break like Spanish House, that longer period can make the waves a bit straight and fat. But for the size, it's a good sign of energy.
After that, it's a slow fade back into small, weak surf with onshore winds and even some storm threats into the final week of August. That Wednesday morning is your clear target.
There's a little window on the very last day, Wednesday, August 26th, with glassy conditions and no wind. But the swell is back down to a tiny 1.0ft from the ENE with low energy (24). A glassy lake isn't surfable.
Overall, this is a lean period. The only real standout to bother with is the morning of Wednesday, August 19th.
Stay patient, Rusty out.

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.
