The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I’m gonna lay it out in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.

Spanish House is going through a real flat spell. The first nine days, from Monday the 17th through Tuesday the 25th, there’s almost nothing going on. Swell never gets above 2 feet, period is short, and the combined energy is weak—between 23 and 53. Winds are mostly cross-onshore, onshore, or just messy. That’s a long dry stretch for an inconsistent little sandbar.

Then, on Wednesday the 26th, we get a glimmer. The morning is glassy—calm wind, no breeze—and a 1-foot east swell rolls in with a very long period of 16 seconds. That kind of period is better for a reef or point, but the clean conditions make it rideable. Energy is still weak (88), but it’s the first decent window.

Thursday the 27th morning is also clean, with a light offshore wind and a 2-foot east swell at 13 seconds (energy 179, moderate). Still ordinary, but you can get a few.

The best session of the whole outlook is Friday the 28th morning. We’ve got a 3-foot east swell at 11 seconds, light offshore wind from the west, and clean conditions. The combined energy hits 339 (moderate). For a beginner spot, that’s a nice size, and the direction is close to the optimum NNE. Winds are light and offshore, giving you clean little waves. Crowds are possible, but a Friday morning might be okay.

After that, Saturday the 29th morning is still rideable with 3 feet and clean, but the swell is fading. By Sunday the 30th, the direction shifts north-east and the period drops, so it gets weaker.

Water temp is 85°F, which is right around average for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed.

First week and a half is a waste. If you want to paddle out, aim for the mornings from Wednesday the 26th through Friday the 28th. That Friday the 28th morning is the standout—clean, small, offshore, and the most energy you’ll see.

Rusty, out.

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.
