The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Looking at the next two weeks for Spanish House, it's a tough run. This spot is exposed to the NNE, which is not ideal given the swell directions we're seeing. The first week is pretty much a write-off. The water temp is about 85° right now, which is average for the time of year, but that's about the only nice thing I can say.
From Sunday the 13th right through to Tuesday the 22nd, it's a whole lot of nothing. Swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is all wrong – cross-onshore, onshore, or just messy. The combined energy is weak, sitting in the double digits or low triple digits. Not worth paddling out for. You'll be fighting a cross-onshore breeze for barely a ripple.
We get a slight flicker of hope on Wednesday the 23rd. The morning brings a clean offshore breeze from the WNW with a 3ft NE swell and moderate energy (141). It's small, but it'll be clean. The real standout, however, is the Wednesday afternoon. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SW, the swell picks up just a touch to 3ft from the ENE, and the combined energy jumps to a solid 201. That's the best of the whole run – clean, surfable waves with a bit of push. It's not huge, but for Spanish House, it's the one to aim for.
After that, things get tricky again. Thursday the 24th has some potential in the morning with a 4ft ENE swell and light cross-shore wind, but the afternoon gets chopped up. Then Friday the 25th through Monday the 28th sees a long-period groundswell (13 seconds) pushing in, with swell heights around 3ft to 4ft and combined energy getting strong (up to 467 on the 26th). But the wind is a persistent cross-onshore from the NE, ruining it. That long-period swell needs clean conditions to shine, and it's just not getting them here. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, that onshore wind and long period will make it a lumpy, blown-out mess. Honestly, it's looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during that stretch.
So, bottom line: the first week is a total blank. The only real window is Wednesday the 23rd, especially the afternoon. After that, the swell shows up but the wind kills it. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
