The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. I'm looking at Spanish House, a sandbar break that's inconsistent and only really works when the swell comes from the NNE. Problem is, the whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. The water's sitting around 85°F — pretty normal for this time of year, nothing weird there.
From Thursday 16 July right through to the end of Wednesday 23 July, there's just nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny little waves, 1.0ft to 3ft, with weak energy (10 to 44 in the tank). The wind's mostly cross-off or glassy at times, but the swell direction is all wrong — ESE, E, SSE — not the NNE that this spot needs. Periods are short, mostly 4–8 seconds, so no real power. It's a beginner spot, but even beginners would be frustrated.
The first hint of anything surfable shows up on the morning of Friday 24 July. Still small — 2ft from the east, 8 seconds, energy up to 71 — but the wind is light and cross-off, so it's clean. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That's about as good as it gets. Saturday 25 July morning is similar: 3ft, east, 8 seconds, 87 energy, clean. Sunday 26 July morning has 2ft, east, 8 seconds, 44 energy, clean. But these are all tiny, weak, and the direction is still off. The optimum is NNE, and we're getting east — that's not going to shape up well.
After that, it fades back into tiny junk. 27 July morning has a glassy moment with 1ft, but again, nothing exciting. The rest of the 16 days is just poor surf, choppy cross-onshore winds, and energy levels barely cracking 50. Honestly, this is a blank run for Spanish House. It's an inconsistent break anyway, and the forecast just isn't delivering. Don't waste your time. Check back later — things can change.

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.
