The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's get into it.
We're looking at a pretty flat start here for Spanish House. For the next several days, it's a write-off. Monday the 24th through to Saturday the 31st of August are a total bust – we're talking tiny waves that are either onshore chopped up or just plain poor. You’ll be looking at a gap of about a week with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell energy is weak, barely cracking 100 on the dial. It’s enough to make a man wanna take up golf.
Then we get a little glimmer of hope. On Sunday the 1st of September, the morning shows some glassy 0.6ft easterly swell, but it's still pretty ordinary. The real shift comes on Wednesday the 2nd. The morning is a beauty – flat calm, glassy conditions with 3ft swell out of the east at 13 seconds. Energy is climbing into the moderate range (275). It's still small but it's clean and promising.
Then, boys, Thursday the 3rd of September is the standout. The morning session is the one to circle. We've got 4ft of east swell with a solid 14-second period – that's proper groundswell, not some wind-junk. The wind is offshore from the WSW at a gentle 9 mph, leaving that water like glass. Combined swell energy is pumping at a strong 613. This is that perfect window where it’s got some push but isn't maxing out. It’s a sandbar, so expect it to handle that long-period energy okay, but with that period, watch for it to wall up a bit. For a beginner spot, 4ft is starting to get a little spicy, but for anyone with a few sessions under their belt, this is the best it’s gonna get. It can get busy though – crowds are possible here sometimes.
Friday the 4th of September holds clean with 3ft and offshore winds, but the peak of that push is gone. By Saturday the 5th, we’re back down into the smaller stuff, though glassy and clean. For a few days after that, we get small, rideable waves in the 2-3ft range with clean winds, so it won't be a total loss, but nothing to call your mates about.
So bottom line: Don't bother for the first week. Save your energy. The real excitement is the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. That's the one.

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.
