The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna give it to you straight. This is Spanish House, and the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messed up for the most part. There’s nothing really on the cards as a proper standout surf, so keep your expectations low.
Right now, we’re coming into a period where the east-northeast swell is just tiny. Through Thursday, August 6th and Friday, August 7th, we’re looking at ankle to maybe knee-high waves at best, around 1 ft to 2 ft, but the wind is a big problem. It’s blowing onshore from the east-southeast at 12 to 15 mph, making things choppy and poor. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no real surprises there.
The weekend isn’t any better. Saturday, August 8th and Sunday, August 9th see a little bump in energy, with the combined swell energy hitting around 219 (moderate), but the swell height is still only 3 ft to 4 ft from the east. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, so the face is going to be all bumpy. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
We go through a long dry spell here. From Monday, August 10th all the way through to the morning of Monday, August 18th, the swell drops right off. We’re talking 0.3 ft to 2 ft for over a week, with the combined energy falling to single digits and low double digits. The wind does go light and even glassy or cross-offshore a few times – like on the morning of the 16th and the afternoon of the 17th – but with barely any swell, it’s a flat, clean lake, not a surf break. The period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds, so no push.
Finally, on the morning of Tuesday, August 18th, we see a tiny flicker of life. The swell picks up to 2 ft from the east, with a 9-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 41. The wind goes cross-offshore from the south-southwest at 9 mph, so it’s clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The same happens on Wednesday, August 19th morning with a light offshore from the west. This is the best we get, but it’s still small and weak.
To be honest, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy morning on the 18th or the offshore morning on the 19th is your window. But it’s not a standout. The rest of the run is a write-off. For an area that’s inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. Don’t hold your breath.

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.
