The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a tough stretch ahead. The swell just isn’t showing up in any meaningful way. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the first real surfable session doesn’t roll in until the 2nd of August, and even then, it’s slim pickings. The entire period is riddled with days of poor surf conditions, with a few brief moments of "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." There’s a gap of nearly two weeks with no real recommendations, so don’t expect to be doing much paddling for a while.
Spanish House – This is pretty much the only spot on the radar, and it’s an inconsistent sandbar, so it’s not a reliable go-to. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year – about a degree and a half off the long-term average, so it’s notable but not shocking.
The best you’re going to get is on Tuesday morning, 4th August. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 58, so it’s lacking punch. But the wind is glassy – dead calm – so the surface will be clean. For a beginner-friendly spot, the waves will be small and weak, but at least you won’t be battling wind chop. That’s your standout window, but it’s not much to write home about.
The next half-decent window is Thursday morning, 13th August – another glassy morning, with 2ft from the E, period at 8 seconds, and combined energy at 57. Again, very weak, but clean. If you’re desperate, that’s the only other time you might get a few small, clean waves.
Honestly, for most of the period, the wind is a mess – cross-on, onshore, or choppy – and the swell is tiny. With the short periods (mostly 5-8 seconds) and weak energy, this is less about surf and more about a paddle. If you’re into kite surfing, the consistent cross-on winds and small waves might actually offer some fun, but for paddle surfing, it’s a tough call.
Stay patient, check back closer to the 4th, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
