The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are a real struggle for Spanish House. The whole 16-day window is a near-total bust, so I’m gonna walk you through the long, flat spell.
The first few days are a write-off. From Tuesday the 4th through to Friday the 7th, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell – barely 2 ft to 4 ft – with a short, weak period around 5 to 7 seconds. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the conditions are just poor. The combined wave energy is weak (31 to 166), so there’s no grunt in the water. The water is 82° and a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
Saturday the 8th morning sees a slight bump in energy to 215, but it’s still a messy 4 ft onshore wind situation. That’s not fun. Sunday the 9th through to the end of the first week drops off again, with energy falling back to 99 and lower. Everything is labelled “poor surf conditions.”
The second week is even more grim. From Monday the 10th all the way through to Monday the 17th, the swell is tiny – 0.7 ft to 2 ft – with weak energy (7 to 62). Most of it is cross-onshore or onshore, so it’s just choppy, useless slop. There are a couple of brief moments on the 12th and 16th where the wind goes light cross-off or cross-off, but the swell is too small to do anything with.
The only flicker of hope comes right at the end. On Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, we get a tiny 2 ft swell from the east with a period of 9 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is still weak (41 to 48), but it’s clean. The wave comment finally says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” For this spot, that’s the best on offer, but it’s still only a 1 out of 10 sort of day. The swell direction (E) is not the ideal NNE that Spanish House wants, so it’s just a brief, clean, tiny wave.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a rare blank run for this area, but it happens. The forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
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.
