The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've had a good look at the charts for our patch, and I'm not gonna lie to you—it's a flat spell. The whole 16-day outlook is a bit of a write-off for anything you'd want to paddle out on. There's no standouts, no hidden gems, just a long stretch of poor conditions.
Right from Sunday the 30th of August, it's all small, short-period windswell in the 2ft to 3ft range, coming from the east to southeast with periods under 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak, barely registering above 100 (75) on the Sunday, and the wind is messy—cross-onshore or onshore all day. That trend holds right through the first week. Monday the 31st is more of the same, with a risk of t-storms and a moderate breeze chopping things up. Tuesday the 1st of September, we get a slight bump to 3ft, but the period's still short and the energy is low (82). The surf is just not there.
We see a minor jump on Wednesday the 2nd of September, with the swell pushing to 3ft and the period stretching out to 11 seconds. The combined energy hits 199 (moderate), which is the best we'll see for a while, but it's still a poor quality, cross-onshore mess. The swell direction is east, which is not the optimum NNE for Spanish House, so it's not lining up right. By Thursday the 3rd, it drops back to 3ft with a ridiculously short 6-second period, and the wind is still ruining it.
From Friday the 4th of September, the bottom falls out. Swell drops to 1ft, then 0.9ft. The energy is in the double digits (18, 13). There are a couple of brief windows of glassy conditions on Saturday the 5th and Wednesday the 9th, but the swell is so tiny (0.9ft and 2ft respectively) you'd be floating on a lake, not surfing. The wave comment for Wednesday the 9th morning finally says "surfable waves but very ordinary," scoring a 1 out of 10, but honestly, that's scraping the barrel.
The second week is the same story. Tiny swell, weak energy, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. There's no let-up. The water temperature anomaly isn't mentioned in the data for the first break, so I can't say if it's warm or cold for the time of year.
So yeah, put the board away, maybe take up fishing for a fortnight. There's just no surf on the table worth chasing. It's one of those blank runs for the area.
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.
