Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spanish House over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for Spanish House. This is a sandbar set-up, pretty exposed to the swell, but it's a beginner-friendly spot most of the time. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary there.
Honestly, the outlook over the next 16 days is a real struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing good to start. From Tuesday morning the 4th of August, right through to Sunday the 16th of August, the surf is just poor. It’s a long, blank run. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, coming from the east with short periods that lack any punch. The combined swell energy is weak, often below 100, and the wind is never favourable. It's mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. There’s nothing to get excited about here.
The one faint glimmer comes right at the tail end of the forecast. On Monday morning the 17th of August, things finally look a little different. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the east-southeast, with a period of 8 seconds, giving a combined energy of 64. It’s still small, but the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the south-southwest, which means clean conditions. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is still a step up from everything else. Even so, it’s not a standout by any stretch, just the only option. The rest of that week continues with poor, choppy conditions.
So, to be straight with you, there’s no real “best on offer” here. If you’ve got a kite, the moderate cross-onshore winds and choppy, small waves on some of those days might be more interesting than paddle surfing. That Monday morning the 17th is the only window where you might get a clean little wave, but keep expectations low.
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.
