The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch. Spanish House is the only break in the picture, and it’s a sandbar that’s inconsistent and best left for the beginners. The first week is basically a blank, with a long gap of nothing until we finally get a few small windows of surfable but very ordinary conditions.
The first real chance to paddle out is on the morning of Friday, August 28th. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the SE, with a combined wave energy of 117 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit gutless and crumbly, but it’s the best we’ve got. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
Next up, the morning of Sunday, August 30th. Again, small stuff – 2ft from the E (energy 66) – but with a light cross-offshore from the SW keeping it clean. It’s barely a ripple, but it’s surfable. Then Monday, August 31st morning offers a similar story: 3ft from the ESE (energy 92) with clean conditions from a light SW cross-offshore.
The only real standout in the whole outlook is the morning of Tuesday, September 1st. It’s small – 2ft from the E (energy 139, moderate) – but the wind goes glassy, with a light offshore from the NW. That’s proper clean. The period is 10 seconds, so there’s a bit of shape to it. For a spot that’s been struggling, this is the best on offer. It’s still nothing to get excited about for the experienced crew, but for a beginner or someone just wanting to get wet, it’s a window.
The morning of September 3rd is also clean, with a light cross-offshore from the NNW and 2ft from the E (energy 128). Same small, clean story.
Overall, it’s a lean run. The forecast can change, and it’s not unusual for this area to have quiet spells, so don’t throw in the towel. If you’re a beginner, the morning of September 1st is your best bet. For everyone else, might be a good time to tune up the fins.

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.
