The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’ll be straight with you—this 16-day window for Spanish House is a real test of patience. We’ve got a long, flat spell to sit through before anything worth paddling out for shows up. The first recommendation isn’t until Wednesday the 23rd of September, so that’s nearly two weeks of waiting. The early days are full of small, weak, choppy slop with cross-onshore breezes and storm risks—nothing to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 83°F for the start, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least the wait will be warm.
From the 10th of September right through to the morning of the 22nd, it’s pretty much a write-off. Tiny swells from 1ft to 4ft, short periods under 9 seconds, and weak energy under 100 (mostly in the 20s to 80s). Winds are generally cross-on or onshore, and every session is marked as poor surf conditions. The biggest letdown is the 21st and 22nd where the swell bumps up to 4ft and 5ft, but the wind turns nasty—storm force on the 22nd morning at 62 mph, which is just dangerous.
But then, Wednesday the 23rd of September, everything changes. A solid ENE groundswell pushes through at 8ft to 8ft with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 903 on the morning and 1048 in the afternoon—that’s strong wave energy. And the wind? Offshore from the WSW, light to moderate, keeping it clean. This is the standout. For experienced surfers only—anything over 8ft is expert territory. Spanish House is a sandbar, inconsistent and exposed to NNE swells, so this ENE direction is a bit off its optimum, but with that power and clean wind, it’ll still offer some rewarding, punchy waves. Expect good to excellent conditions.
The 24th of September morning is also a highlight for the more adventurous. Swell holds at 7ft, period short at 7 seconds, but glassy northwesterly wind will make it look a treat. Energy is still solid at 498. By the afternoon, the onshore returns and it’s done. The 25th of September morning is another glassy session—NNW wind, 4ft swell with a longer 10-second period, energy at 269—good clean waves for a smaller crew, but again the onshore spoils the arvo.
So, the only real window to surf is from the morning of Wednesday the 23rd to maybe the morning of Friday the 25th. That’s your lot. Get on it when it comes, because the rest is a bust.
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.
