Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spanish House over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. We’re looking at the next 16 days and honestly, the surf is just not showing up. There’s a long gap right from the start with no real swell to speak of, so we’re waiting all the way out until Sunday the 26th of July for the first glimmer of something rideable.
The Overall Pattern
For the next week and a half, it’s flat and poor. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing until we get a brief window of cleaner conditions. The first real surfable moment pops up on Sunday morning, the 26th, but even then, it’s small. After that, it’s back to the flat spell for the rest of the period.
The Only Glimmer (Sunday 26th July – Monday 27th July)
Spanish House is the only spot worth mentioning, and I’m being generous. On Sunday morning, the 26th, we get a light WNW wind that’s cross-offshore, cleaning things up. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the East, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (42). It’s not going to get your heart racing, but it’s the only window where the conditions are clean. The water is sitting at 83°F, which is about average for the time of year.
Then on Monday morning, the 27th, we get a rare moment of true offshore wind from the West at 6 mph. The swell is still only 2 ft from the East, 8 seconds, and the energy is very weak (32). It’s clean, but it’s barely a ripple. Spanish House is a beginner sandbar that’s inconsistent and exposed to the NNE, so it needs direction. The best chance is that small, clean morning window with a light offshore.
The Best on Offer (and that’s saying something)
If you’re desperate, the standout is Sunday morning, July 26th at Spanish House. The cross-offshore wind will make it the cleanest it’s going to get. The swell is tiny, but it’s the only legitimate surfable wave in the entire 16-day window. The energy is weak (42), so don’t expect much push.
The Rest of the Run
After Monday the 27th, it’s all over. The wind swings back onshore and the swell collapses to 1-1 ft for the rest of the period right through to August 5th. The forecast is consistent, but consistently poor. This is a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes.
Stay hopeful, but leave the boards at home for a while.

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.
