The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook for Spanish House is a bit of a heartbreaker. We're looking at a long dry spell here. The first real chance at anything rideable won't show up until quite a while from now. From the start of the period through to the end of the first week, it's just a no-go. We're talking flat, messy, or just plain poor conditions. You'll see a few glassy mornings with tiny 0.7 ft to 1 ft waves, but that’s barely a ripple. The wind is often cross-onshore or onshore, chopping up what little is there. A couple of mornings have clean, glassy conditions, but with zero swell, there's nothing to ride. It's a tough stretch.
The Only Honest Look
The best bet, and I mean the only one that gets a little pulse, is on Thursday, August 20th. The morning clean-up is the one to watch. A light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW will have the surface looking clean. We'll see a small 2 ft swell rolling in from the east, with a reasonable 11-second period. The combined energy finally gets into the moderate range at 133. It's not going to be a classic, but it's the only time the conditions are even close to surfable. The swell direction is from the east, and this spot likes it from the NNE, so it's not the perfect angle, but with the clean conditions, you might find a few crumbly ones.
The next day, Friday, August 21st, also has a morning window with a light offshore from the WSW and clean conditions. The swell drops a little to 2 ft and the period shortens to 9 seconds, with energy down to 83. It's a smaller, weaker option if you missed Thursday.
The water temperature on the first day is 83°, which is about 2° cooler than average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about—just your standard warm water.
For the rest of the forecast, it's back to a flat, choppy mess. The long-range looks grim. There's a pulse of longer-period (12-15 sec) east swell in the middle of the second week, but the wind is always wrong, and the scores are zero. It's just not happening.
Forget the board for a while. This stretch is a real test of patience. The good news is it can't stay this poor forever, but for now, the only call is to wait.
Stay patient, 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.

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.
