The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's break down this 16-day stretch for the local zone.
Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. It's a rough start. We're looking at a solid 8-plus days with nothing worth paddling out for. The first little bump in the road doesn't pop up until Monday, August 17th.
That bump is at Spanish House (sandbar). On the morning of the 17th, we get a pulse of energy with a combined reading of (145). Swell will be around 4 ft from the NE, but with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is a cross-shore from the NNE at 9 mph, so it’ll be a bit choppy. It's surfable if you're really jonesin', but it's not what we call good.
The one true standout, the session you'd be a fool to miss, is shaping up for the morning of Thursday, August 20th. I say "shaping up" because it's a ways out, but the signs are there. Swell will be a clean 2 ft from the E with a lovely, long 11-second period, meaning real lines and push. Combined energy will be a solid (116). The best part? A light, cross-offshore wind from the SSW at 6 mph, which should groom those faces to perfection. The water temp is just fine, about normal for the year. It’s not a big swell, but with those conditions, that's your session.
After that, things get pretty ordinary again. There's a glassy morning on the 23rd of August with 3 ft from the NE, but the period drops to a weak 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bumpy, gutless affair.
Keep it locked on that Thursday the 20th. That’s the one to chase.
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.
