The Lowdown
What’s up, crew? Rusty here, and I’ve got to be honest, the outlook for Spanish House is a bit of a bummer.
The Big Picture
We’re staring down a long, quiet period. The swell is dialed way down, the wind is working against us, and for the most part, the surf is flat. There’s a little window of hope right at the very end of the month, but it’s a long wait for something small.
The Long Dry Spell (July 20 – July 30)
From July 20th through the 30th, it’s basically a blank. Swell is running from 1ft to 5ft, mostly from the SSE or SE, with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s pure junk. The wind is cross or onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. The wave energy is weak, mostly under 100 (32 to 98), with one spike to 153 on the 25th afternoon, but it’s still messy. The water temp is a warm 83°F, which is normal for the season. For an inconsistent sandbar like this, it’s a total washout. If you’ve got a kite, this might be your jam, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
The Glimmer of Hope (July 31 – August 4)
Finally, a change. On July 31st, the wind turns offshore from the WNW, giving us a clean 2ft wave from the E with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is still low (50), but it’s rideable. The afternoon of the 31st is the pick: a gentle offshore breeze and clean conditions.
Then we hit August 1st with a light offshore and more clean 2ft E swell. The morning of the 2nd of August is where it’s at. You’ll find a gentle offshore wind and a clean 1ft wave from the E. The wind is described as "gentle offshore and clean," which is a huge plus. The energy is only 23, so it’s tiny, but it will be the cleanest, most glassy surf we’ve seen in this whole forecast.
The Best on Offer
If you’re chasing the best of a bad lot, aim for the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. The offshore wind and clean conditions at Spanish House will make the most of that tiny 1ft E swell. The morning of July 31st is also an option, but the 2nd looks a touch cleaner. It’s a long-range call, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s a promising little window. No barrels, but a nice, clean paddle.
Hang in there, things can turn around.

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.
