The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be real with you. The next couple of weeks are looking like a proper flat spell. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf ahead, and you're gonna have to be patient if you want to get wet.
We're looking at a serious lull. For over a week, from the 18th right through to the 27th, conditions are just poor. We're talking ankle-biters with barely any energy, and the wind is mostly on it or chopping it up. It’s not even worth the paddle out in most cases. The swell is just too weak, with combined energy values mostly in the 20s and 30s (weak energy), meaning it’s pretty much flat and messy.
The standout break here, and really your only option for a wave at all, is Spanish House (Spain). It's a sandbar, and it's inconsistent, so don't expect much. I'll be honest, even when it does pick up a little, it's pretty ordinary.
Now, the saving grace is the very end of the window. It’s still not going to be epic, but there are a few mornings where it becomes surfable, if just barely.
Around the 29th of August, there's a slight pulse. The swell bumps up to a tiny `2ft` from the East with a period of 10 seconds. There's a clean window on the Saturday morning (29th) with a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s not going to be pumping, but it'll be the first time it's not completely hopeless. Then again, the Saturday afternoon falls apart with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore winds.
Your other real chance comes on the morning of the 30th of August. The swell holds at `2ft` from the East, but the wind swings to the west-northwest and goes offshore, promising clean conditions. It's still small and weak, with energy at 44 (weak), but clean and rideable on the right board.
After that, the 31st and 1st of September mornings offer similar conditions: small surf around `2ft` from the east, with light cross-offshore winds in the morning, keeping it clean and surfable.
So, my final take: Don't get your hopes up for anything big. The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of the 30th of August. Small, weak, but utterly clean at Spanish House. Bring a longboard or a groveler and enjoy being out there, because that's all this stretch is going to give you.
Rusty out.

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.
