The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up—Spanish House is a beginner-friendly sandbar, but man, the next couple of weeks are flat and frustrating. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and the 16-day window is lined with poor surf conditions.
Right now, through to the end of August, the swell barely nudges above 0.7ft, mostly from the east or southeast, and the energy is weak as dishwater—most readings sit under 100 (like 7 to 67). That’s barely a ripple. The only faint glimmer comes Wednesday 19 August morning: a 0.5ft east swell with 10-second period, light glassy winds, and a combined energy of 54. It’s rideable, but ordinary—just enough for a beginner to bob around. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, it’s more of the same: tiny waves, cross-onshore winds, and choppy mess. There are no standouts. The best you can hope for is a small, clean window on Saturday 22 August morning (0.3ft east, glassy) or Friday 28 August morning (0.6ft east, clean cross-off with a 9-second period and energy of 56). Even then, it’s barely surfable.
For a sandbar that rarely breaks and gets occasional crowds, this is a real dud stretch. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 28th morning is your best bet—but don’t drive far. Forecasts can change, though; it doesn’t stay this poor forever.

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.
