The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this next 16 days at Spanish House is a tough one. The finder’s come up empty, and honestly, when I look at the guidance, it’s no surprise. Spanish House is a sandbar that’s inconsistent, and it’s exposed to the NNE, but every bit of swell we’ve got is coming from the east and southeast. That’s a pretty rough mismatch. The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 82°F.
We start off on Wednesday, 5th August, with a tiny 2ft easterly swell at 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (27). It’s glassy in the morning, which is nice, but the swell is just too small and poor to do anything with. That sets the tone for the whole first week. Thursday through Sunday, the swell bumps up a bit – we see a 4ft easterly swell on Friday and Saturday, with the combined energy getting up to moderate levels (212 on Saturday morning). But the wind is all over it – onshore or cross-onshore, and with those thunderstorms around, it’s just messy, poor surf. The period is short, around 5 to 8 seconds, so there’s no real power or shape to it.
Then we hit a lull. From Monday, 11th August, right through to the end of the forecast on 20th August, the swell drops off hard. We’re talking 0.7ft to 2ft, mostly weak energy (often under 30), and short periods. The wind is mostly a cross-onshore mess. There’s a couple of moments on the 17th and 18th of August where the wind goes clean – a cross-off from the WSW and then a cross-off from the NW – and the wave comment finally says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The swell is still tiny, 2ft, with a period of 8-9 seconds. The combined energy is weak (47 and 61). It’s not a standout, it’s just the least terrible moment in a long, flat run.
So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, there’s no standout. If you’re desperate and have a foamboard, the early mornings of 17th and 18th August might give you a few clean but tiny waves. That’s the best you’re going to get. For the rest of it, it’s a blank 16 days. This is a spot that’s inconsistent, so a long period of no good surf is more normal for the area. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

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.
