The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about Spanish House. It’s a sandbar setup and, honestly, it’s a tough run. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. The first real shot at anything rideable doesn’t show up until Friday the 22nd of September, so you’ve got a gap of over a week with hardly a wave worth paddling for. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Right, so from the start: Friday the 11th of September is a write-off. Tiny swell, only 2 ft from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore. The wave energy is weak at 66. It’s messy. Saturday and Sunday are much the same – all under 2 ft. Monday the 14th has a moment: the swell is still tiny at 2 ft, but we get a glassy morning with the wind from the NW at 3 mph. That’s clean as a whistle, but the wave energy is still only 38. It’s a long paddle for a waist-high dribble. The rest of that week and into the next is a mix of onshore winds and tiny, weak surf. There’s a bit of a spike on Wednesday the 16th with 3 ft from the E, but a 5-second period and a bumpy cross-onshore wind kill it.
Now, the only stand-out, and I mean the only one, comes on Tuesday the 22nd of September. We get a pulse of 5 ft swell from the NE, but the catch is it’s a short period of 8 seconds and the wind is howling from the north at 18 mph, giving a lumpy cross-shore chop. The wave energy finally climbs into the moderate range at 307, but the wind is brutal. This swell is too big for beginners and pretty ugly for everyone else. For a beach break, this short-period, wind-chopped mess looks more like a session for the kite surfers than anyone on a paddle board. The rest of that week fades again into poor surf with cross-off winds, under 3 ft.
The last few days into the 26th of September are back to tiny, messy stuff. No real redeeming features. It’s just a flat spell.
Always,
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.
