The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Spanish House.
It’s a slow start, no doubt about it. From Sunday the 23rd through Friday the 28th of August, we’ve got almost nothing worth paddling for. Tiny waves and messy winds keep the surf flat and blown out.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Friday morning, the 28th of August. The waves are a tiny 1 ft from the east, but the wind goes glassy. It’s clean, but the energy is weak at just 41. You’ll be scratching for a ride.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing until the 1st of September. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is glassy again, with 2 ft waves from the east. The period jumps to 15 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell – and the energy hits 149 (moderate). Those long-period waves can be a bit straight at this sandbar, but with the wind off, it’s the best we’ve seen.
Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is almost the same. Glassy, 2 ft waves from the east-northeast, 13-second period, and energy of 143 (moderate). Another clean window.
The standout of the whole forecast is Sunday the 6th of September. The morning has a clean cross-shore breeze from the south at just 6 mph, the swell is 2 ft from the east with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps up to 190 (moderate). That’s the most energy we see directed here, and the wind is clean. It’s not a big day, but it’s the best combo of size, shape, and conditions. The water temp is about 86°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
The surf picks up a little more energy into the second week, but the winds get messy. Monday the 7th of September morning is glassy again with 3 ft waves from the east-northeast, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. Energy hits 133 (moderate).
Overall, no big swell, just a few mornings with clean conditions and waist-high waves. The best bet is to aim for the 6th of September morning. Crowds are possible at Spanish House, so if you get the glassy window, get out there early.
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.
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.
