The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the coming weeks. Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a bummer for a while. The best we can say is that the window has a lot of weak, onshore, and just plain poor conditions. The first proper sniff of something worth paddling out for is a long way off.
Spanish House is an exposed sandbar break that’s inconsistent at the best of times. For the next couple of weeks, it’s mostly small, cross-shore slop or cross-onshore chop. Swell heights are hanging around 1ft to 2ft with short periods, so even the small bumps are weak. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the teens and twenties (16 to 26 range). Not much to get excited about.
There's a real gap here. After the initial poor run, we see a tiny window on Friday the 24th of July, where the afternoon goes offshore from the west at 6 mph, offering a brief clean moment. Swell is a tiny 2ft from the east with a period of 8 seconds, giving a combined energy of 46. It’s surfable, but "very ordinary" is the word. Certainly not a standout.
A similar clean chance pops up on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July with a cross-offshore breeze from the south-southwest. Again, wave height is only 2ft from the east, but it’ll be clean. If you’re desperate, these are your windows.
The closest thing to a highlight is the morning of Thursday the 30th of July. We finally get a push of swell, with 4ft from the south. The period is a disappointing 5 seconds (short period windswell), but for the first time in this entire run, the wind is forecast to be glassy (south-southeast at 3 mph). Combined energy hits the moderate range at 105. It'll be a bit confused and straight, but it's the cleanest, biggest option in the whole 16 days. For a beginner spot, this is at the top end of what’s manageable, but it’s still the pick of a very poor bunch.
Overall, the pattern is a long, unremarkable stretch with some very brief, low-quality clean windows late in the month. The 30th of July morning is the one to circle, but even then, keep expectations in check.
Rusty out.

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.
