The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Spanish House has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, quiet period. For the first ten days or so, from Tuesday the 18th of August right through to late on Wednesday the 26th, the swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 1ft. The combined energy is weak, often in the 20s and 30s (33-81 range), which just isn’t enough to get excited about. The water temperature is a warm 85°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there waiting.
Things start to look a little less bleak on the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. We get a slight bump in swell to 2ft from the east, and the combined energy ticks up to a moderate 110. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the southwest, so it should be clean. But the period is a short 13 seconds, so it won’t have much push. It’s surfable, but only just.
The real standout, and the only time I’d really consider paddling out, is on Friday the 28th of August. The swell holds at 2ft from the east, with a period of 10 seconds and combined energy of 80. But the magic is in the wind. The morning has a light offshore from the west-southwest, and then the afternoon goes dead glassy. Glassy conditions on a tiny east swell at a sandbar that faces north-east? That’s your window. The waves will be small and clean, perfect for a beginner. Keep in mind, this break is inconsistent and crowds are possible here sometimes.
Looking further out, there’s a bit of a pulse showing up around the 1st and 2nd of September. The swell stays small at 1ft to 2ft, but the period stretches out to 15 seconds, and the combined energy hits 128 and then 162 on the morning of the 2nd. That’s moderate energy for such a small wave. The problem is the wind looks messy – cross-onshore and onshore. It’s too far out to bank on, but worth keeping an eye on.
Honestly, if it’s small and clean like Friday the 28th, you might get a fun little slide. Otherwise, this setup is better suited for a kite than a paddle if the wind picks up. Stay patient, and check back with me.
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.

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.
