The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough run for Spanish House.
Right now and for the next week and a half, the pickings are slim. The swell is tiny, mostly knee-high or less, with weak energy. The water is sitting at 83°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might notice a slight chill. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off through the first few days, but the swell is just too small to get excited about—under 2ft with short period. August 2nd Sunday morning pops up with a 2ft east swell, 8-second period, and combined energy of 44 (moderate), but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are described as ordinary. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The real problem is the consistency: Spanish House is inconsistent at the best of times, and with these tiny east swells, we’re looking at a long stretch of flat to poor waves.
The first real standout doesn’t appear until August 4th Tuesday morning. We get a glassy morning with the wind from the east at just 3 mph, a 1ft east swell, 8-second period, and combined energy of 44 (moderate). It’s clean, but the swell is still tiny. This is the best of a bad bunch—a very small window for a fun, clean session on a longboard or a foamie. The break is a sandbar, which is beginner-friendly, but keep in mind the optimum swell direction is NNE, and we’re seeing east swells, so it’s not matching perfectly. Even so, the glassy conditions make it the most appealing moment.
Then, August 6th Thursday morning and August 7th Friday morning both offer glassy, clean conditions with 2-2ft east swells, short period (7 seconds), and combined energy around 59-43 (moderate). These are still small, but with the glassy wind, they’re the most rideable waves in the whole forecast. The swell direction is still east, not the ideal NNE, and the short period means the waves won’t have much power, but for a beginner or a logger, it’s a window.
After August 7th, the wind turns more onshore and cross-onshore, and the swell drops even smaller. The last week of the forecast is a write-off—tiny, onshore, and choppy. August 10th onward sees combined energy dropping to 19-31 (weak) with 4-5 second periods. Not worth paddling out.
Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the stronger winds and small, choppy surf from August 3rd afternoon onward might be more interesting. For a paddle surfer, pick the glassy mornings on August 4th, 6th, or 7th, and don’t expect much more than a knee-high dribble.
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.
