The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. For the next couple of weeks, Spanish House is looking like a write-off for the most part. It's a sandbar setup that's exposed to the north-northeast, but the wind and swell just aren't playing ball. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, from Tuesday the 15th of September all the way through to the 29th, with hardly a sniff of anything worth paddling out for.
That run starts with Tuesday the 15th seeing tiny, weak 1ft swell from the ESE, with a short period of 8 seconds and barely any energy behind it (41). The wind's on it, too, making for messy surf. Wednesday and Thursday, the 16th and 17th, actually see a bump in size to 5ft to 6ft from the NE and ENE, with combined energy climbing into the low-to-mid hundreds (266 to 359). But hold your horses – it's coming with a short 7-second period and fresh cross-onshore winds, so it’ll be lumpy, choppy, and junk. Not worth it.
The only real glimmer in this whole period, and I mean the *only* standout, is the morning of Wednesday the 30th of September. It’s a long way off, so treat this as a promising but less certain hope. But if it comes together, it could be special. We've got a solid 12ft swell pouring in from the ENE with a good 9-second period, and a massive energy reading of 1849. That's proper, powerful groundswell energy. The wind is forecast to be glassy – dead calm – which means those waves are going to be clean and peeling. Now, at that size, 12ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers only; beginners need to sit this one out. This is for the crew who know what they're doing on a sandbar. Given its inconsistent nature, a day like this is a real treat. For the rest of the stretch, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are a few mornings – like the 22nd, 23rd, and 25th – with glassy conditions but tiny, weak waves. You might get a fun little slide on a foiler, but for a proper surf, it's a waiting game until that last day of the month.
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.
