The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Spanish House over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty lean run for this sandbar. The first week and a bit is nearly all poor surf conditions, with the swell tiny and the wind messy. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for from Friday 4th September through to the morning of Sunday 13th September. The odd bit of clear sky and light wind shows up, but the wave heights are barely a ripple—1ft to 1ft—so don’t kid yourself. The combined swell energy is weak, staying under 100 (between 11 and 84) for most of that stretch, so it’s a flat spell.
Then we start to see a little pulse around Sunday 13th September afternoon. Swell bumps to 4ft from the NE, period short at 7 seconds, but the wind swings onshore and chops it up. Energy climbs to 181 (moderate), but the quality is still poor for surfing.
The first real glimmer shows on Monday 14th September morning. Spanish House has 4ft of ENE swell, period 7 seconds, and the wind goes glassy—dead calm. That’s the standout of the whole forecast. The water temperature is 84°, which is about average for the time of year (anomaly -0.5°). The break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but when they come, it’ll be clean and lined up. Combined energy hits 181 (moderate). Not big, but glassy conditions make up for a lot.
Tuesday 15th September morning offers another brief window. Swell drops to 3ft from the NE, period 7 seconds, and it’s glassy again. Energy at 104 (moderate). Very ordinary but surfable for a beginner-friendly wave. After that, the afternoons get chopped up again.
Wednesday 16th September morning sees a tiny 1ft ESE swell with offshore WNW breeze at 6 mph, clean faces but barely any push. Energy a weak 43.
Then we wait again. The next real chance comes on Friday 18th September morning: glassy conditions, 4ft NE swell, 8-second period, energy 145 (moderate). Then Saturday 19th September morning: also glassy, 4ft NE swell, 7-second period, energy 166 (moderate). Both of these are promising but a long way out, so treat them as hopeful, not locked in.
The long and short of it: Monday 14th September morning is your best bet—clean, glassy, and moderate energy. Saturday 19th also shapes up nicely if the long-range holds. Crowds at Spanish House are only sometimes, so you might have the place quiet. For a break that’s inconsistent and rarely pumps, that glassy dawn patrol is about as good as it gets in this window.

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.
