The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim run. The forecast is showing a whole lot of nothing for the next sixteen days. We're looking at a massive gap with virtually no surf worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly junk, and the energy is just not there.
Now, the first proper sniff of anything rideable is on Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. Spanish House is seeing a tiny 3 ft of swell from the east, but it's glassy with a light easterly breeze. The water's sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The wave energy is a weak 107, so it's small, but it's clean. The problem is, the swell is short-period at 9 seconds, so it's a bit weak and crumbly. It's a beginner-friendly wave, and honestly, it's the best we've got, but it's hardly a standout.
The rest of the first week is a write-off. Thursday afternoon turns into a cross-onshore mess with a risk of thunderstorms, and the swell stays under 4 ft. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are all plagued by either cross-onshore or onshore wind, with the swell dropping to 1 ft or 2 ft. The energy readings are pitiful, dropping into the teens and twenties. There's a brief moment of glass on Sunday morning the 6th, but it's only 1 ft. Not worth the sock tan.
The second week, from the 8th of September onwards, is still very poor. The swell pops up slightly to 3 ft on the morning of the 9th, with a bit more energy (170) but it's coming from the northeast with onshore wind. The period is a messy 8-10 seconds. It's not clean, and it's not powerful. The 11th of September has a glassy morning with 2 ft, but it's still just a weak, short-period wave. The rest of the days are just more of the same: tiny, weak, and mostly blown out.
So, the honest truth is there's no standout day, no session to get excited about. The best you can hope for is a clean but tiny wave on Thursday morning the 3rd or Friday morning the 11th. For a place that's exposed, this is a real flat spell. It's the kind of stretch where you leave the boards in the car and just go for a swim. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long, boring run.
Stay patient, 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.
