The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Spanish House over the next 16 days is a flat, frustrating stretch. We’re looking at a long, empty run with hardly a ripple worth paddling for.
Right now, heading into Friday the 4th, it’s all small, weak, and messy. We’ve got a tiny 3 ft easterly swell with a short, weak 6-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 65 – that’s barely a bump. A southerly breeze is creating cross-shore chop, and the water’s sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal. Saturday and Sunday are worse, with the swell dropping to 1 ft. It’s a complete write-off through the first week.
We’ve got a gap of nothing but poor conditions until the morning of Thursday the 10th. That Thursday morning, there’s a hint of life with the wind going glassy and a clean 1 ft swell from the east-northeast, but it’s still just surfable waves, not exciting. The combined energy is only 81. Friday the 11th morning also sees glassy conditions, but again, it’s tiny.
The only real pulse of energy comes around the 12th and 13th. On Saturday the 12th, the swell jumps to 5 ft from the northeast, but it’s a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 193 (moderate). The problem is the afternoon brings a howling 12 mph east-southeast cross-onshore wind that chops it all up. That setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Sunday the 13th morning has a 5 ft east-northeast swell with a combined energy of 245, but it’s a cross-shore wind and the period is still a short 6 seconds. It’s messy, and the afternoon is worse.
The second week is a slow fade. From Monday the 14th onward, the swell drops and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, with combined energy falling back below 100. It’s a long, bleak run. Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best you can hope for is a glassy, tiny window on the 10th or 11th for a longboard, but don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a tough one.
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.
