Spanish House Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check the surf for our little patch of coastline.

Straight up, it's gonna be a real test of patience over the next couple of weeks. We've only got one spot on the radar, Spanish House, and honestly, the waves are going to be tiny and pretty average for most of the run. There are a lot of days where the wind is gonna trash things from the side or straight onshore. The overall wave energy is weak, mostly sitting in the low double digits like 26 or 30, which tells you there's just no push in the water.

Looking at Tuesday 7th morning, it's clean with a 1ft swell from the ESE and a 9-second period, but the wave comment says it all – it's poor. That little bump of energy (26) just isn't enough to get excited about. The water temperature is 84°, which is spot on average for this time of year.

Thursday morning the 9th is a little better, with a 2ft swell from the E, period still at 9 seconds, and energy creeping up to 44. The morning wind is light cross-shore, which at least keeps it from getting too choppy, but it's still a struggle.

Now, the best of a bad bunch looks like it might be in the second week. Wednesday 15th morning, keep an eye on it. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and we get a touch more push with a 2ft from the NE. The period is short, only 7 seconds, so it won't be groundswell, and the energy is just 67 – still weak. But for a small wave board and a quiet moment, it might be the only time the surface is truly clean.

Then, Saturday morning the 18th is another one to circle on the calendar. We get a clean 1ft from the ESE, period back up to 8 seconds with a light offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is only 41 (weak) but the comment changes to "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It's not good surf, but it's the least bad option for a paddle.

Honestly, there's no standout session here. It's a long, drawn-out spell of tiny, weak surf. For any of these mornings to work, you’d need to be happy paddling around on a longboard. The afternoon seabreezes are strong and consistently onshore, so don't even bother after lunch. With the swell so small and the quality consistently poor, this setup actually looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone trying to get a proper wave. It won't stay this flat forever, but the next 16 days are going to be a grind.

Rusty.
