The Lowdown
Alright, let's be straight with you. If you're looking for a proper session at Spanish House, you're gonna be waiting a while. The next week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We're looking at a big gap from the start of the period right through to the morning of Monday, August 17th, where the surf is just plain poor. Tiny, weak, and messy. The wind is mostly onshore or sideshore, chopping it all up. The combined wave energy is low, barely cracking 200 (225) at the best of times, and that's early on Saturday the 8th with a 4ft easterly windswell at a short 8 seconds. Not a pretty picture.
There's a real gap in quality here. For over a week, it's flat or close to it. The swell drops to 1ft by the 12th, and while we get some glassy mornings, the waves are just too small to surf. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
Now, the first real glimmer shows up on Monday, August 17th. The morning has a light WNW breeze making it glassy, and a 2ft easterly swell with a 9-second period. The energy is a weak 50 and the score is unremarkable, but it's the first time it's not a total write-off. It's surfable, but only just. You'd be scratching for a ride.
Again on Tuesday, August 18th morning, there's another glassy window with the same tiny 2ft E swell. It's the same story.
Then, on Wednesday, August 19th, something a little more interesting pops up. The morning swell jumps to 2ft, from the east, with a period of 13 seconds. That's a proper groundswell. The combined energy hits 235, which is the highest in the whole run. The wind is light and cross-shore. It's still a "marginal" call, but for Spanish House, this is the standout. The longer period will give it some shape but it's still small. This is the best on offer, but it's far from pumping.
The next morning, Thursday, August 20th, is glassy again with a 2ft, 10-second easterly swell. Another surfable, but ordinary, option.
The run ends with a glassy morning on Sunday, August 23rd, with a 2ft, 12-second easterly groundswell. It's clean, but small.
Look, for a spot that's inconsistent and exposed to NNE swells, this is a quiet period. The easterly swell is not what it really wants. The best call is probably the morning of Wednesday, August 19th. It's the biggest energy and that longer period will give it some push, but with early light cross-shore wind, it's your best bet for a few slow, clean waves. Don't expect any crowds, but it might be worth a look if you're desperate.

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.
