The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Spanish House. I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where I’m scraping the barrel. The finder didn’t throw up a single red-letter day, and the guidance confirms it: this is a beginner-friendly sandbar that’s inconsistent and only really works with a swell from the NNE. The problem is, we just aren’t getting that.
The whole 16-day window is a struggle. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Thursday the 10th, and even then, it’s just a whisper. We’ve got a long gap of nothing really surfable before that. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, about average for this time of year, which is nice for a paddle, but the waves are what we’re here for.
Thursday the 10th is the best we’ve got, and that’s not saying a ton. The morning shows a tiny 2 ft swell from the NE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 92. But the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions. That’s a major positive. It’ll be clean, but tiny. If you’re a beginner just wanting to get wet on a foamie, it’s your window. The afternoon gets ruined by a 9 mph onshore breeze, so make it a dawn patrol.
Friday the 11th morning has a chance with 1 ft from the NE, 8-second period, and a light cross-offshore wind from the SW. That’ll keep it clean (42 combined energy), but again, it’s tiny. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect solitude.
Saturday the 12th morning is another glassy one, but it’s a paltry 1 ft of swell from the ESE. The energy is a pitiful 14. It’s a lake.
After that, it’s a long, sad slog. The swell tries to bump up to 3 ft on Wednesday the 9th, but that’s from the NE with a short 8-second period, and the wind is messy onshore or cross-onshore, making it a poor, choppy mess. The combined energy hits 156, which is moderate, but the conditions are just too bad to enjoy it. That setup, with significant swell and poor quality, honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The rest of the second week into the 20th is a blur of small, weak, onshore wind slop. Swells from the E and NE, periods all under 10 seconds, and combined energy that never breaks 100 again. It’s just not happening.
So, bottom line: there’s no standout here. The glassy morning on the 10th is your best bet for a clean, tiny wave. For the rest, save your energy and wait for the forecast to change. It can’t stay this poor forever.
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.
