The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s run through the outlook for Spanish House in feet and knots – the next couple of weeks are lean, no two ways about it. The swell energy stays low for almost the whole stretch, and you’ll be waiting a long time for anything worth paddling out for.
From Friday 17th July through the weekend and into the following week, it’s tiny. Swell heights sit between 1ft and 2ft, with periods as short as 4 seconds, and the wind is cross to cross-onshore, chopping it up. The combined energy figures are all under 40 – really weak. Tuesday 22nd July morning turns clean with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is still just 1ft and short period – you could mess around on a soft top, but it’s not a real session.
The one moment that stands out is Friday afternoon, 24th July. The wind drops to dead calm – glassy as it gets. Combined energy bumps to 73, the best we’ll see. Swell is 2ft from the ESE at 8 seconds. Water temp is 84°, pretty normal for this time of year. Spanish House is a sandbar that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks well, so this is actually notable. It’s small, but glassy and clean, and crowds are possible – expect a few out. For a beginner-friendly wave, this is your window.
Saturday 25th July morning has the highest energy of the whole run at 158 (moderate) with 3ft from the east at 10 seconds, but the cross wind ruins it – still poor conditions. The afternoon stays choppy.
From Sunday 26th July into the start of August, it’s back to 1ft to 2ft dribble with short periods. A few clean mornings show up with light offshore breeze (like Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th July), but there’s just no swell to ride. By Saturday 1st August, it’s offshore and clean but only 1ft – ankle-slappers.
Bottom line: if you’re itching for a paddle, aim for that glassy Friday afternoon on 24th July. The rest of the run is a write-off unless the forecast changes.

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.
