The Lowdown
Alright, pull up a chair. Rusty here. Let’s break down what the ocean’s got cookin’. I’ll be honest with you – it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The surf is mostly flat and the good days are few and far between. There’s a big gap where there’s just nothing to recommend.
Our only spot on the map is Spanish House (sandbar), but it’s an inconsistent one that rarely breaks, so keep your expectations in check. The water temp is 86°, right about normal for the season.
From August 20th all the way to September 3rd, we’re looking at a major drought. Swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.7 ft to 1 ft, and the wave energy is pathetic (combined swell energy values are in the low teens to low 40s). The wind is mostly messing things up, blowing onshore or cross-onshore, leaving the surface chopped. We get a couple of glassy mornings on the 24th and 25th, but the swell is barely a ripple at 1.0 ft and 0.7 ft. There’s a long-period pulse on the 27th of August (15 seconds), but it’s only 0.7 ft with a moderate cross-onshore wind. A total tease.
The one single standout comes on the morning of September 4th. The swell finally shows up at 3 ft from the NE with an 8-second period, and the energy hits 114 – the only decent number in the whole run. The wind goes glassy, giving us clean conditions. That Friday morning is your best and really only shot at a surfable wave. The afternoon turns to junk again with onshore wind, so paddle out early. For everything else? Might be better to rig up the kite.
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.
