The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again.
Let’s be straight – this 16-day stretch for Spanish House is looking pretty flat. The sandbar is exposed to the east, and there’s just no proper swell. The water is a bit colder than usual for August, sitting at 28°.
We start on Friday the 7th of August with a weak, short-period 5ft easterly. The wind is a messy cross-on at 12 mph, making it choppy and poor. The combined energy is only 294, which is weak. It drops fast from there. Saturday the 8th is 4ft, Sunday the 9th is 3ft, and it just keeps fading. The wind stays cross-on or onshore almost the whole time, with a few brief moments of glassy conditions on Tuesday the 11th morning, but the swell is only 1ft – not enough to ride.
There’s a long, flat gap from around the 11th through the 16th, with swell never getting above 2ft and the wind often still messy. You’re looking at days of tiny, weak bumps.
The first real sign of life comes on Monday the 17th of August. The swell picks up a touch to 2ft, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, which is a bit more promising. The wind goes offshore in the morning from the west at 6 mph, and the conditions are clean. It’s still small, only surfable but very ordinary, with a combined energy of 60. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off wind from the NNW, but again, it’s knee-high at best.
The best chance in the whole outlook, if you can call it that, is on Thursday the 20th of August. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the east with a 10-second period, and the combined energy reaches 153 (moderate). The morning wind is light from the SSE, only 3 mph, keeping the surf clean with just small crossing wind ripples. It’s the only day with even a hint of energy and decent conditions. After that, Friday the 21st morning goes glassy with a 2ft, 9-second easterly, but it’s still small.
For the second week, the pattern doesn’t change much. Saturday the 22nd has clean, cross-off wind, but the swell is only 2ft. It’s a real struggle for any decent wave here.
Bottom line: there’s nothing to get excited about. The only time you might actually get a few grovelly ones is on Thursday the 20th of August, when the light wind and a little bump of energy could make it worth a paddle for the desperate. Otherwise, it’s a flat spell with a lot of side-shore wind.
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.
Spanish House is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Sebastian. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sebastian. Sebastian has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
