The Lowdown
Right, gather 'round, this is Rusty with a look at Spanish House.
Honestly, crew, this one is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a real battle for something worth paddling out for. The swell direction just never lines up right – it's coming from the east and northeast when this spot really wants a north-northeast pulse. With that, the combined energy is weak, mostly between 28 and 75 for a good two weeks, barely a wiggle on the charts from the finder file. The water's hanging around 83.7°F with no temperature anomaly, so that's pretty average for this time of year.
Let's start with the early days. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are a write-off – small swell at 1.3ft to 1.6ft from the ESE with cross-onshore winds making a mess. Sunday the 13th is the same story, just tiny and bumpy. We finally get a real moment of peace on Monday morning the 14th. At 1.6ft from the east with a 9-second period and glassy conditions – it's surfable, just very ordinary. That's the only flash of something clean in the first week, but the wave comment says it all: "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The afternoon kicks back into poor surf conditions with that cross-onshore ESE breeze. After that, trouble.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th see the swell bump up, but the wind gets mean. Wednesday morning the 16th we get a 5.9ft NE swell with a short 7-second period and a combined energy of 335 (moderate wave energy), which sounds bigger, but it's onshore from the NE at 15-18 mph. That's a lumpy, choppy, poor surf conditions mess – definitely not one for the beginners (over 5ft), and only a kite surfer would be keen on that setup. That energy stays moderate through Thursday the 17th (325), but it's still onshore and messy.
We get another chance for something clean on Saturday morning the 19th of September. Small 2ft NE swell with another glassy moment. "Surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" again. The crowd potential at Spanish House is listed as "sometimes", but with surf this marginal, I wouldn't worry about a battle for waves.
The second week is a long gap with nothing recommendable. There's a flash of a bigger pulse right at the end: Saturday the 26th of September afternoon, we see a 4.6ft ENE swell with a 12-second period (long period, good energy) and a combined energy of 546 (strong wave energy). The wind goes cross-offshore from the SSW at 15 mph, which is clean. But the rating is still "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions" with a score of 1. That long period on a beach break like Spanish House can sometimes make it break too straight, and with a cross-off, it might be a tricky but clean wave. It's promising, but given the long-range call, it's a 'watch this space' situation.
Honestly, if you're not desperate, let this one pass. There is no standout here.

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.
