The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what we’ve got for the next couple weeks. I gotta level with you—this forecast is a bummer. The whole 16-day window is a real desert for surf. The swell just doesn’t have the size, the energy, or the right direction to make anything worthwhile.
The only break on the menu is Spanish House, a sandbar that’s inconsistent and more of a beginner spot. It’s exposed to the north-northeast, but the wave heights barely crack 3 feet for the entire period. The combined swell energy is weak, hitting a peak of only 145 (moderate wave energy) for a brief moment, and that’s as good as it gets. The water temp is about average for the season, nothing to write home about there.
Let’s run through it. From Tuesday the 1st through the end of the first week, it’s a total loss. We’re talking tiny 1-foot to 2-foot swell, mostly from the east or northeast, with periods between 8 and 11 seconds. The wind is all over the shop—cross-onshore, onshore, or glassy on the smallest waves. The quality is poor, the energy values are in the double digits or barely triple-digit, and the scores are zeros. You’d have more fun watching paint dry.
We do get a little hiccup on Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th. On the 8th, the swell bumps up to 4 feet from the north-northeast, but with a period of just 6 seconds—super short period windswell. The wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a choppy mess. The combined energy hits 145, which is moderate, but it’s still poor surf conditions. Wednesday the 9th holds similar 3-foot swell from the northeast, but the period is still short at 6 seconds, with onshore wind. Honestly, with those conditions, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that little blip, it fades back to nothing. From the 10th through the 16th, we’re back to 1-foot to 2-foot swell, all from the east or east-southeast, with periods between 7 and 9 seconds. The winds stay unfavorable—cross-onshore or onshore, with some afternoon thunderstorm risks bringing moderate breezes. The energy levels drop into the low double-digits to mid-70s, confirming there’s nothing on the table.
So, bottom line: there are no standouts here. Not a single day gets a recommendation. The best of a bad bunch might be that Tuesday the 8th if you were absolutely desperate and wanted to mess around on a small, choppy 4-foot wave, but it’s not worth the drive. You’re looking at about two weeks of flat or near-flat conditions. It’s a tough stretch, but that’s the reality. Keep the board in the car for another time.
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.
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.
