The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be honest with you, looking at the 16-day window for Spanish House, it's a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about.
The forecast kicks off with a real dud. From Tuesday the 8th right through the rest of that week and into the weekend, the surf is tiny and the wind is a mess. We're looking at weak, short-period windswell from the NNE, with most of the energy under 100 (79) and barely hitting 2ft. The wind is cross-onshore or onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year.
There's a real gap here. The first faint glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Monday the 14th. Early that morning, we get a moment of glassy conditions with the wind going light and variable. The swell is still tiny at 2ft from the East with a 9-second period, and the energy is weak (41). The report even calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's the only thing that even gets a 1 out of 10. For a desperate surfer, it's a session, but it's not a standout.
The pattern then flattens out again. We go through another week of tiny, poor surf with onshore breezes. The swell stays small, the period drops, and the wind keeps it choppy. There’s a slight shift around the 22nd and 23rd, where the wind goes offshore, but the swell is still pathetic at 2ft with a very short 4-5 second period and weak energy (under 40). Clean, but unsurfable.
Honestly, there are no true standouts in this entire period. The best we can hope for is that glassy morning on the 14th, but it’s a gamble. The consistent poor conditions suggest this is a normal blank run for the area. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.
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.
Spanish House is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Sebastian. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sebastian. Sebastian has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
