The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Honestly, right now, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The water here at Spanish House is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, no major anomaly there. The coming days are going to be a long wait. From Monday the 24th of August all the way through to the end of the month, it's pretty grim. We've got tiny little ankle-biters, mostly under 3ft, and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind messing things up. The combined swell energy is weak, maxing out around 92 for that period. There are a couple of glassy moments on the 27th and 28th, but with next to no swell to work with, it's not worth paddling out for. This is a real desert stretch, so don't bother checking the cams.
We finally see a pulse of energy arriving on Tuesday, September 1st. The combined swell energy jumps up to 294, which is moderate. But the wind is still on it in the morning and onshore in the afternoon, so the quality is marginal at best.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. The first true standout pops up on Wednesday, September 2nd. The morning session looks magic – it's glassy, with a long-period 13-second groundswell from the East pushing about 3ft. The energy is building nicely (325). This is a real opportunity for some clean, workable waves.
But the real gem, the one to circle on the calendar, is Thursday, September 3rd. The swell is building, and we are looking at a clean, long-period East groundswell of 5ft. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WSW, and the combined swell energy is a strong 890. This is going to have proper push and shape. The offshore flow will keep it looking perfect. Friday morning, September 4th, will also be excellent with a clean offshore wind and 4ft swell (590 energy). These three sessions from Wednesday through Friday morning are the absolute peak of this forecast.
After that, we ease back into smaller but still fun surf over the weekend of the 5th and 6th, with clean offshores, before the wind turns onshore and the energy drops away in the second week.
The main takeaway? Be patient through this first week. The surf will turn on big time from the 2nd of September. The top pick is Thursday the 3rd for the best combination of size and cleanliness. Friday the 4th morning is a very close second.
Rusty.

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.
