The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for Spanish House over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean run. Don’t go hangin’ your boardshorts out just yet.
We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing to start. From late August right through the first few days of September, the swell is tiny and the wind is messy. We’ve got a solid week where the waves barely crack 2 ft and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. That ESE to ENE breeze just keeps chopping things up, and with swell periods mostly under 10 seconds, it’s just not doing the job. The combined energy is sitting weak, rarely even hitting three digits – you’re looking at values like 45, 55, 75, a few in the 80s – it’s just not firing. It’s a stretch of nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, we do get a brief flicker of hope on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning shows a glassy session with SE winds at just 3 mph, and the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the ESE, period 6 seconds. Combined energy hits 103 – moderate – but the ride quality? Just “ordinary.” It’s surfable, barely, but nothing to write home about. That afternoon it’s already gone back to onshore junk.
Then we get another weird one on Monday the 7th of September. A little 0.7 ft swell from the east, but get this – it’s got a 15-second period. That’s groundswell, very long period. But the size is pathetic. The morning has light offshore wind from the WSW at just 3 mph, so it’ll be clean, but you’d be scratching for a ride on a log. The energy is only 40 – barely a ripple.
After that, the last few days of the forecast try to build a little something. Tuesday the 8th of September morning shows a 2 ft east swell, 13-second period, with light cross-offshore wind from the NW at 6 mph. Clean lines, and the energy jumps to 121 – moderate. By Wednesday the 9th of September morning, the swell period holds at 12 seconds, energy climbs to 194 – getting some push – but the wind swings cross-shore from the NNE at 6 mph, so it’s bumpy. Thursday and Friday both show 2–2 ft east-northeast swells, periods around 9 seconds, but the onshore wind keeps ruining it. Energy stays in the moderate range (113–179), but the conditions are poor.
So what’s the standout? Honestly, the morning of Sunday the 6th of September is your best bet. That 4 ft swell is the biggest we see, and with glassy conditions, it’s the cleanest window in the whole forecast. But even then, it’s just “ordinary.” For a more experienced surfer, the Wednesday the 9th of September morning has some energy behind it, but the cross-shore wind kills the quality.
This is an inconsistent spot, and this forecast shows exactly why. For the first week, you’re better off finding something else to do. The second week offers tiny glimpses but nothing consistent. If you’re determined, paddle out on the 6th morning for a few forgivingly small, clean waves.
Stay salty,
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.
