The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here. Not gonna lie, this is one of those outlooks where you gotta be patient. Straight up, the whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim for any proper surf at Spanish House. We’ve got a long, long dry spell ahead, so let’s break it down.
From Wednesday, July 29 right through to Tuesday, August 12, the swell is tiny – nothing above 3 ft and most of the time it’s hovering around 0.7 ft to 2 ft from the east. Combined wave energy is weak, reading between 12 and 97 units, so there’s just no power in the water. The swell period is short too, mostly 7 to 10 seconds, so you’re not getting any decent push. For a beginner sandbar like Spanish House, this is frustrating. The winds are mostly cross-offshore or glassy, which would be great if there was any swell to work with. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
There’s one tiny blip on August 8, Saturday morning – the combined energy jumps to 83 with a 3 ft swell from ESE, but the wind is howling at 34 mph from the SW. That’s near gale force, making it a total washout. By Saturday afternoon, it drops to 2 ft, wind backs off to 9 mph from the WSW, and the conditions are described as “surfable but very ordinary.” That’s the only session in the whole 16 days that even gets a 1 out of 10 score. It’s a gentle offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the wave energy is still weak at 62 units. This is the only real window to paddle out, and even then, it’s not going to be anything to write home about.
Then another tiny window on August 13, Thursday morning – glassy conditions with a 2 ft swell from the northeast, period of 8 seconds, and energy at 50. It’s clean, but again, it’s barely surfable. With the swell still below 3 ft, it’s just not worth getting too excited.
In short, if you’re hanging for a wave, your best bet is the afternoon of August 8 or the morning of August 13. Neither is a standout, but they’re the only times when the stars line up enough to get wet. Everything else is a flat, blown-out mess. The first week is especially dead, so don’t bother until then. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long stretch of nothing.
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.
