The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let me level with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Spanish House, it’s a pretty grim picture. We’ve got a solid stretch of tiny, junky waves and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. There are a few moments where the swell bumps up a bit, but the conditions are just ordinary. Honestly, for the first week and a half, you’re better off doing something else. Don’t get too down about it though, because there’s a tiny glimmer of hope right at the end of the run that might just be worth a paddle out.

The first few days, from August 5th through the 10th, are pretty much a write-off. The swell is small, mostly under 4ft, and the period is short, around 4 to 8 seconds. That means weak, disorganized waves. The wind is mostly onshore from the ESE, and we’ve got a risk of thunderstorms hanging around. The energy is weak, with values mostly under 200. It’s not going to be pretty.

There’s a slight bump on the 7th and 8th, with the swell pushing to 4ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore, and the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. It’s just messy out there.

The middle of the week, the 11th through the 13th, sees the swell die right off. We’re talking 0.7ft to 2ft, with energy values dropping to single digits and low twenties. There are a couple of glassy mornings, particularly on the 11th and 13th when the wind drops out, but there’s just no swell to ride. It’s flat.

Then we get a little pulse of energy around the 15th and 16th of August. The swell builds back to 3ft and then 4ft on the morning of the 16th. The energy picks up to 89, which is still moderate at best. But the wind finally goes cross-off from the SSW, and the waves are clean. It’s the first time it looks even remotely surfable, but it’s still pretty ordinary. The swell direction is from the SE, which is a bit off from the optimum NNE for this sandbar, so it won’t be perfect.

The real standout, if you can call it that, is the last few days. The 17th, 18th, and especially the 19th of August. The swell is small, only 2ft, but the period stretches out to 9 seconds. That’s much better quality energy. On the 19th, we get glassy conditions with light winds from the E and NW. The energy is up to 66, and the waves are clean. It’s small, so you’ll want a longboard or a foamie, but it might be your only real chance for a fun, clean session.

So, to sum it up: the first ten days are a bust. The 16th is the first sign of life, but it’s short-lived. The 19th of August is your best bet for a clean, glassy morning with a bit of groundswell. It’s not big, but it’s clean. Keep your expectations low, but don’t write the whole window off just yet.

Right, that’s the long and short of it. It’s not a classic forecast, but there’s always a chance.

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.
