The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks at Spanish House are a real bummer. We’ve got a solid stretch of days ahead, but the surf just isn’t cooperating for a proper paddle. We’re looking at a long, flat-to-marginal run, and honestly, there’s no single standout day that’s going to have you scrambling for your board. The first real chance of anything even remotely rideable doesn’t show up until Monday the 14th, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary.
We’ve got weak, short-period swell the whole way through. The combined wave energy is mostly in the low two-digit range, often between 25 and 61, which is really weak stuff. The swell is coming in from the east and northeast, but it’s just not matching what this sandbar really wants. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first week is a total write-off. From the 7th right through the 13th, we’re stuck with tiny, junky waves—think 1ft to 2ft—with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up what little is there. There’s a lot of storm risk around too, which doesn’t help. A few mornings start out glassy, like Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th, but there’s just no swell behind them. It’s the kind of flat spell where you’re better off doing anything else.
Finally, on Monday morning the 14th, we get a tiny window. It’s still only 2ft from the east with a 9-second period, but the wind goes dead calm and it’s glassy. The energy is still weak at 41, but for the first time, it’s surfable. It’s not going to be epic, but if you’re desperate for a splash, that’s your best bet. The crowds are only “sometimes” there, so you might have some space. But don’t kid yourself—it’s still very average.
From the 15th to the 20th, it’s more of the same. A couple of clean mornings with light offshore or cross-offshore winds, but the swell stays tiny, in the 1ft to 3ft range. The energy dips back down into the 20s and 30s. There’s a slightly better pulse on Thursday the 17th morning with 3ft from the NE and light cross-offshore wind, but it’s still weak and not worth getting excited about. It’s just more of that “surfable but ordinary” vibe.
The second week stays pretty bleak. We see a bit more size kick in around the 21st and 22nd, with waves pushing up to 4ft, but the period drops off and the wind turns ugly—onshore and cross-onshore, making it a choppy, messy mess. The combined energy gets into the triple digits (158), so there’s a bit more push, but it’s all short-period, wind-swell junk. At this size and with that wind, Spanish House is looking a lot more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. It’s just not a paddle-surfing setup.
Bottom line: there’s no real standout here. The only day with a glimmer is Monday the 14th, and that’s about it. For the rest, you’re waiting on a forecast change that just doesn’t come. Keep the board in the car, 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.
