The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch is looking pretty grim for a paddle. The first week and a half we’ve got almost nothing but dribble and wind. You’re looking at a run of poor surf conditions from Tuesday the 8th all the way through to Sunday the 20th. There’s a lot of flat, weak days where you’d be better off finding something else to do. The swell energy is weak for most of that, often under 100 (like 38 and 70), and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, which doesn’t help the already tiny waves.

Finally, things get interesting but not pretty. On Sunday the 20th in the afternoon, the swell jumps to about 4.3ft from the NE, but it’s blowing 30 km/h onshore from the east. The energy builds to 350, which is moderate, but it’s messy. That carries into Monday the 21st with 4.6ft to 4.9ft swell, but the same strong onshore wind is going to chop it up. It’s not going to be a clean surf, more like a washing machine. If you’re a kiter, this is when it gets interesting, but for us surfers, it’s not great.

Then Wednesday the 23rd is when it really kicks. We’ve got a proper pulse of swell coming in—7.5ft in the morning, building to a solid 9.8ft by the afternoon. That’s big, over 8ft, so this is only for the experts. The energy is strong to very strong, hitting 652 and then 1015. The wind is cross-on, and with that size, it’s going to be a serious session. This is the standout, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not a lock.

The one spot on the map is Spanish House, a sandbar that’s inconsistent and exposed. It’s a beginner break, but with these sizes, beginners need to stay well away. The water temp is about normal for the time of year, sitting around 84°, so no surprises there. For the first window, don’t bother. For the last couple of days, charge if you’ve got the experience, but know you’re chasing a wild one.

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.
