The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the cards for Spanish House. To be straight with you, this stretch is looking pretty flat and quiet for a good long while. The first few weeks are a write-off, with barely a whisper of surf. We’re talking days on end with tiny, weak lumps that just aren’t worth paddling out for.
The real story starts to shift at the very tail end of the window. After a long, slow grind of nothing, we finally see a pulse of energy arrive around Thursday the 27th of August. It’s not huge, but it’s the first sign of life. The morning swell bumps up to 3ft from the East, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined wave energy hits 211, which is finally in the moderate range, a big step up from the weak stuff before it. The catch is the wind is blowing onshore from the East at 9 mph, so expect some chop, but it’s the most interesting it’s been. This is the standout, but for a sandbar that is inconsistent and exposed to the NNE, don't expect perfection.
If you’re a beginner, watch out – the swell gets up to 4ft by Sunday the 30th, but it’s still short-period windswell at 5 seconds, so it’ll be a mess. Honestly, with the onshore winds and the beach-and-reef setup, this late period looks more like a kiteboarding window than a clean paddle session. Don’t get your hopes up too high for this first week; it’s a long wait for a small, bumpy reward.
Stay patient. 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.
