The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Spanish House. To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The first real chance to get wet doesn't show up until Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, and even then, it's not much to write home about.
We start with a tiny 1ft swell from the ENE with a decent 11-second period. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is weak (40). It’s surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary. That’s the best we’re going to see for a while, and it’s a real shame because the water temperature is about average for this time of year, so the wait won't be chilly.
After that Tuesday morning window, it gets rough. From Tuesday afternoon on the 8th right through to Saturday morning the 19th of September, it’s a solid run of poor surf. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. The energy never gets above 161 (moderate) for a brief moment on Wednesday, but the onshore wind just ruins it. There’s a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Things finally look a little more interesting on Saturday morning, the 19th of September. The swell is still small at 2ft from the NE, but we get a clean, glassy window with a light cross-offshore wind from the SW. The energy is still weak (77). The real standout, though, is Sunday morning, the 20th of September. The wind turns offshore from the WSW at just 3 mph, glassy as can be. The swell is 2ft from the NE with an 8-second period, and the energy is weak (79). It’s not big, but for a spot that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, clean conditions make it the best option on offer. The fact it’s an exposed sandbar means it’ll be all about timing, and crowds are possible, but for a morning glass-off, it’s worth a look.
The rest of the period into the end of the month is a repeat of the same story: small, onshore, and poor. Nothing to get excited about. For a spot that’s inconsistent, this blank run is more normal than not. Keep your eyes on the Sunday morning session, that’s the 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.
Spanish House is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Sebastian. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sebastian. Sebastian has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
