The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty grim. I'm looking at the data for Spanish House, and to be honest, there's not a single recommendation in the entire 16-day window. Every single session is flagged as 'poor surf conditions'. That's a tough pill to swallow.
The fundamental problem is the swell. It's just not there. We're looking at tiny, weak waves throughout the whole period. The biggest pulse of energy doesn't even arrive until the very end, on Monday the 21st of September, when we get a combined swell energy of 270 (moderate) pushing in from the NE at 3.6ft, but even that session is still rated as poor. The wind on that day is a moderate onshore breeze from the east at 12 mph, which isn't going to help clean things up.
For the first week, it's a whole lot of nothing. The swell heights barely scrape 1.0ft or 1.3ft, mostly from the east or ENE, with periods around 8 seconds. The energy readings are all in the double digits, way under 100, meaning it's weak. There are a few mornings with glassy or offshore wind, like Tuesday morning the 8th and Wednesday morning the 16th, but with waves that small, it's just a flat, pretty lake. Not worth paddling out for.
The only tiny glimmer of a slightly bigger wave comes on Wednesday morning the 9th of September, with a 3.6ft NE swell coming in at a 9-second period, giving a combined energy of 195 (moderate). But the wind is onshore from the ESE at 6 mph, and the break is a sandbar that's inconsistent and exposed to NNE swells, which doesn't match the NE direction. It'll be a messy, weak closeout.
Because this spot is a sandbar that's *inconsistent* and only a beginner-level break, a blank run like this isn't totally abnormal for the area. It's a fair-weather spot. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
Look, I'm an optimist, and forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave your board at home. There's no surf worth chasing here for the next 16 days.

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.
