Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spanish House over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for Spanish House.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a tough stretch. For the first couple of weeks, the swell is tiny and the energy is weak. From Monday the 13th right through to the end of the month, the wave heights barely push past 1.0 ft to 1 ft, with periods mostly around 7 to 8 seconds. That’s close-range, weak stuff. The combined energy stays under 100 for most of that – we’re looking at numbers like 24, 16, 14 – nothing that’s going to get your heart racing. The only time it nudges into moderate energy is on Sunday the 26th afternoon, when it hits 138, but even then, the swell is only 3 ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds.
The wind is a mixed bag. There are some mornings with light offshore or cross-off breezes, like Friday the 17th morning with a light W at 6 mph, and Saturday the 18th morning with a WSW 9 mph offshore. That’ll keep the surface clean. But most afternoons get chopped up by cross-onshore winds, especially from the SE, and that’s not doing us any favours.
The water temperature is sitting at 84° – that’s pretty normal for this time of year, no anomaly to speak of.
Now, the standout – if you can call it that – is probably the morning of Saturday the 25th. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the east, with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 60. The wind is light and cross from the south at 6 mph, so the surface will have a little texture but it’s not blown out. It’s still a small, short-period swell, and Spanish House is an inconsistent sandbar that’s exposed to the NNE – and the swell is coming from the east, which isn’t its optimum. But it’s the biggest wave height we see in the whole run, and the morning session is the cleanest of that day.
Honestly, for most of this period, the waves are too small and weak to get excited about. If you’re a beginner, the tiny 1.0 ft to 1 ft days with light winds might be okay for a paddle, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, this is a long wait. The energy starts to pick up a little in the last few days of July, but it’s still marginal. It’s one of those stretches where the forecast could change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I’d say save your energy.
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.
