The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: if you’re chasing waves at Spanish House over the next couple of weeks, you’re gonna be doing a lot of staring at the horizon. We’ve got a long, flat stretch ahead, and it’s not looking like it’s going to turn around quickly.
We start off right now with nothing but small, onshore bump. Wednesday the 9th kicks off with a weak 3ft NE swell, but it’s coming in at a short 8 seconds and the ESE wind is chopping it up. Combined energy is weak, around 148, but it’s messy, and it’s not going to be any fun on a sandbar. Water temp is sitting right on 84°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year.
The whole first week, right through to about Monday the 15th, is a write-off. Swell drops to under 3ft, periods stay short, and we’ve got a constant cross-onshore or onshore breeze putting bumps on the surface. The 16th and 17th show a little pulse of 3ft but the period tanks to 5 seconds, which is nothing but closeout junk. That’s about as exciting as it gets for a while.
We finally get a proper flat spell from the 18th to the 20th. The 19th and 20th mornings go glassy with no wind, but there’s almost no swell left – we’re talking 1ft to 1ft. It’s pretty, but you can’t surf air.
Then around Monday the 21st, we see a little lift. The swell pushes back up to 3ft, coming from the NE, and the combined energy gets back into the moderate range at 106. It’s still not big, and the wind is on it, but it’s the most promising thing we’ve seen in over a week. That trend holds into the 22nd and 23rd, with similar sizes but the period staying short at 7 seconds. The energy is moderate, but the waves are going to be soft and a bit lumpy with the cross-onshore breeze. For a spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is a pretty barren run.
Honestly, if the wind drops on the 21st and that NE swell holds, there could be a couple of grovelly ones, but don’t hold your breath. For a beginner, it’s manageable – never over 5ft – but the quality just isn’t there. This setup looks more like it’s for the kite surfers than us paddle guys. We might sneak a few clean ones on the 19th and 20th if we can find a ripple, but it’s a long shot.
Hang in there. In this kind of stretch, forecasts can shift – it doesn’t tend to stay this poor for long.
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.
