The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next two weeks at Spanish House are a write-off. We’ve got a solid 16 days of forecast on the table, but there’s nothing worth paddling out for in that entire window. None of the usual glimmers popped up, and that’s just the way it goes sometimes around here. This stretch is a total blank run; the models aren’t offering a single slot where the swell, wind, and conditions line up for a decent session. Don’t let it get you down – forecasts change, and the surf always finds its way back.
We start on Sunday, August 30, with a tiny 2 ft from the east at a weak 5 seconds. Combined wave energy is a measly 45 – barely a ripple. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore most days, and it’s just messy, small, and poor. Monday afternoon, August 31, gives us a glassy window for a bit, but the swell is still only 2 ft at 8 seconds and the energy is 79 – it’s surfable but very ordinary. Not worth rushing for.
From there it’s a flat, choppy slog. Wednesday, September 2, bumps up slightly to 3 ft at 10 seconds with energy hitting 142 (moderate energy), but every session is ruined by onshore or cross-onshore breeze. The same story plays out day after day: tiny swell, poor conditions, no scores.
The closest we get to a salvageable moment is Monday morning, September 14. A fresh offshore wind from the west at 22 mph blows clean across the break, but the swell is only 2 ft from the northeast at 7 seconds, with feeble energy of about 59. Clean but completely flat.
Nothing here is a standout. Not one day offers clean, rideable surf with any punch. If you’re desperate for water time, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – the wind is stronger and steadier than the waves.
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.
