The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at Spanish House (sandbar) for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this stretch is going through a lean patch. It’s an inconsistent spot at the best of times, and the 16-day window is mostly a whole lot of nothing. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
We’ve got a big gap of really poor surf right through the end of August and into the first week of September. The swell is tiny – mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft – and the wind is often onshore or messy. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Friday the 28th of August with some glassy conditions and a tiny 1ft E swell, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The energy is weak (41). That’s your only real window in the early run, and even then it’s just ordinary.
The next standout, if you can call it that, comes up on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning session has a clean offshore breeze from the WSW, with a 1ft NE swell, period of 12 seconds, and combined energy of 93. It’s small, but the offshore wind will make it rideable. The following Monday the 7th of September morning also has a clean cross-off breeze and a 2ft NE swell, 10-second period, energy of 108 – still ordinary, but you could get a few.
Then on Wednesday the 9th of September, we finally see a little bump: the morning has a 4ft E swell, but the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s weak and short-period. The offshore WSW wind keeps it clean, but the energy is moderate (146). It’s still not great, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole run. The afternoon holds similar at 4ft.
Honestly, there’s no day here that screams “go.” The best option is probably the morning of Sunday the 6th of September with that offshore wind, or the Wednesday the 9th of September morning if you want a bit more size, but it’s short-period and messy. For the most part, this is a kite-surfing setup when the wind picks up – not a surfers’ paradise.
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.
