The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've been staring at the charts for this stretch of coast, specifically around Spanish House, and it’s a tough one. We've got a 16-day window ahead, and honestly, there’s a big, ugly gap at the start. We're looking at a solid stretch of days with no real surf on offer – poor conditions, tiny waves, and messy winds. It's a bit of a flat spell, and the water’s warm at 85°, which is about average for this time of year. You're not gonna find any diamonds in the rough for a while.
From the 29th of August right through to the 8th of September, it’s a write-off. Wave heights are basically non-existent, hovering around 1 to 2 feet. The swell energy is weak, mostly in the double digits, and the wind is all over the place, usually cross-onshore or onshore, making things choppy. There's a bump in energy on the 2nd of September, hitting a moderate 183, but the swell direction is from the E, which isn't the ideal NNE for this sandbar, and it's still only pushing 3 feet with a short period. It’s not going to be fun. What we really need is for the swell to fill in properly. The spot is inconsistent at the best of times, so a run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary, but it’s still a drag to see it all laid out like this.
Now, looking further out, things start to get a little more interesting. Around the 8th and 9th of September, we start seeing some life. The morning of the 9th, Wednesday, has a 2 feet swell from the E with a 10-second period, and the energy is up to a moderate 120. The wind is finally turning offshore from the SW. The comment says it's "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is about as good as it gets. It’s an improvement, but you'd have to be keen.
The real standout, the one little window that’s worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of the 10th of September. It’s a Thursday. The wind is a true offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, making for a clean surface. The swell is a modest 2 feet from the E, but the conditions are the best we'll see. The energy is sitting at 64, which is weak, but the clean, glassy conditions will make the most of it. It's not going to be big, but it could be the most fun you'll have in this entire run. Don’t expect much on the 11th either; it’s windy and the swell drops.
So, all in all, we've got a long stretch of nothing to get through, but a very brief light at the end of the tunnel on the morning of the 10th. Don't get your hopes up for anything epic, but if you're desperate for a slide and the wind gods are kind, that Thursday morning could be worth a look. The long-range stuff later in the window is just too weak and unpredictable to get excited about. It tends not to stay poor for long around here, so we can hope the forecasts change for the better. But for now, this is the reality.
Keep it salty.

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.
