The Lowdown
Right, let me have a look at what's on offer for Spanish House.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. Right now through the end of August and into the first week of September, the swell’s just not there. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves between 1ft and 3ft, mostly from the east, and the wind is a nightmare – onshore, cross-onshore, or just generally choppy. The water’s a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year, but there’s no juice in the ocean to make it worthwhile. The combined energy is barely registering, with values like 33 to 128 – all weak to moderate at best. You’ll be bobbing around on nothing.
There’s a long dry spell of poor surf right through until the 8th of September. That's a solid week of flat, messy conditions.
Now, we do get a little glimmer. On Tuesday the 8th of September, in the afternoon, things change a bit. We get a 2ft swell from the east, but the period jumps to a very long 15 seconds – that’s pure groundswell energy. The combined energy hits 141, which is still only moderate, but it's the best we see. The wind goes offshore from the WSW and clean. This is the standout of the whole outlook, but it's small and that long period might make it close out on a sandbar, so it’ll be tricky. It’s surfable, but just barely.
Wednesday the 9th morning still holds a bit of promise with a 2ft swell, 11 second period, and clean cross-offshore winds. But by the afternoon it’s choppy again. After that, the energy fades right back out. The 11th of September has one more clean, offshore morning, but the swell is just 2ft and weak.
So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for the afternoon of the 8th of September. Anywhere else, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s flat out grim.

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.
