The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you. This is a tough stretch for Spanish House. There’s no real standout session in the whole 16-day window, and a lot of days where you’d be better off doing just about anything else. We kick off with a bit of waist-high swell on Thursday the 3rd, with the combined energy sitting at 302 (moderate), but that's completely blown out by a gusty easterly wind. It’s a write-off.
We then hit a proper flat spell. From Friday the 4th right through to Monday the 7th, the swell drops to nothing – we’re talking ankle-snappers at 1ft. You could paddle around, but you won't be catching much. The energy drops into the teens and twenties, which is basically flat. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Things try to pick back up from Tuesday the 8th with a pulse of short-period, wind-affected knee-to-waist high NE swell. The energy gets back over 100 (moderate), but the wind is cross-onshore, making it a messy, choppy affair. That trend continues through the rest of the first week and into the second. We see a few pulses of 5ft swell around Wednesday the 9th and again on Thursday the 17th, but it's always accompanied by onshore wind from the east. The setup starts to look more interesting for kite-surfing than for a proper paddle session.
The only glimmer of anything surfable comes on Tuesday the 15th in the morning. The wind swings light and clean from the NNW, giving us a bit of shape. The swell is a modest 3ft from the NE with 8-second period, and the combined energy is 123 (moderate). It's not going to blow your mind, but it’s the only time in the whole window where the wind isn't trashing it. Don't expect much, but it's the best of a poor lot.
Overall, for this spot, a blank run like this is more normal than not. It tends to be feast or famine here, and we're in a famine. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.

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.
