Spanish House Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Spanish House. Gotta be honest with you, this forecast is a tough one to read. The whole 16-day window looks like a write-off for any decent surf. There’s a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for right from the start, and it just doesn't let up.

The first real chance we see is on the morning of Saturday, the 25th of July. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the east with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, just 80 (weak energy). It’s clean, with a light cross-offshore breeze, which is something, but the waves are just too ordinary. Calling it surfable is a stretch.

Then we get a repeat on the morning of Sunday, the 26th of July. Another 2 ft east swell, period of 8 seconds, and weak energy (47). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but again, it’s barely surfable. It’s the kind of day you’d only go for a paddle if you were desperate.

After that, it’s back to nothing. The mornings from the 27th of July through to the 3rd of August are mostly clean with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny, around 1 ft to 2 ft, and the energy is pathetic. There’s no push, no power. The afternoon winds get messy, chopping up what little is there.

The only slight change comes on the 2nd of August in the afternoon, where a 4 ft southeast swell pops up, but the period is a short 5 seconds and it’s a cross-shore situation with a thunderstorm risk. Not a recipe for quality.

Honestly, this is a blank run. Spanish House is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a classic example of that. There is no standout, nothing to get excited about. The water temperature is a balmy 83°F on the 19th of July, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only bright spot. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon onshores might offer something, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long wait.

Rusty.
