The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about what’s on offer here. Honestly, not much. This stretch of 16 days is looking pretty flat for Spanish House. The swell never really gets going, and when it does, it’s tiny and short period, plus the wind is mostly wrong. It’s a tough run.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday, 21 July, with a weak, short-period SE swell of 3 ft and a period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 47 – that’s weak. To make matters worse, we’ve got a cross-onshore wind at 15 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out.
That’s pretty much the story for the next week and a half. The swell stays small, mostly between 1 ft and 3 ft, with periods of 8 seconds or less. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things bumpy. There are a few moments where the wind goes offshore or glassy—like Sunday morning, 26 July, with a light 9 mph offshore breeze from the W, and Monday morning, 27 July, with another offshore from the WSW. But the swell is just 2 ft to 2 ft, and the combined energy is weak (30 to 41). It’s clean, but you’re fighting for a knee-high wave. “Surfable but very ordinary” is the best it gets, and even that only scores a 1 out of 10.
There’s a gap of several days in early August where the surf is virtually non-existent, with tiny 1 ft waves and mostly cross-onshore winds. The only faint glimmer is on Monday morning, 3 August, when a 1 ft easterly swell (8 seconds) combines with a light cross-offshore breeze for a clean window. Again, tiny, but it’s the best of a bad lot.
The water temperature is around 83°F, and the anomaly is -1°F, so it’s about average for this time of year. No major surprises there.
Honestly, this is a blank run. Spanish House is a sandbar break that’s inconsistent, and it’s living up to that reputation here. For a beginner, this might be a frustrating wait. If you’re looking for a paddle, you’re better off waiting for a better forecast. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the constant onshore winds and small waves.

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.
