The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—Spanish House is in a drought. The whole 16-day window is a total bust for any decent surf. No recommendations at all from the finder. Just a long stretch of small, weak, blown-out conditions.
It kicks off Saturday, August 29th, with a tiny 1ft east swell, a short 8-second period, and combined wave energy of 39—barely a bump. Onshore wind from the east at 6 mph kills it straight away. Sunday the 30th is a bit bigger at 2ft but the period drops to 6 seconds, and you’ve got thunderstorm risk and cross-onshore wind. Still terrible.
Monday the 31st through Friday, September 4th, is more of the same: swell never tops 3ft, period struggles to hit double digits, and wind stays from the east or northeast, mostly onshore. Energy stays weak, usually under 100. On Wednesday the 2nd, the period climbs to 11 seconds with a 3ft east swell and moderate energy (144), but the onshore wind ruins any chance of quality.
There’s one half-decent morning on Saturday, September 5th—dead calm, glassy water—but the swell is only 1ft from the east with energy of 20. It’s flat and clean, but you’d be floating more than surfing. By afternoon, the cross-onshore wind picks up again.
From Sunday the 6th through Saturday the 12th, we get some mornings with a light cross-offshore breeze from the west-northwest, keeping the surface smooth, but the swell is laughable: 1.0ft to 2ft, short period, energy under 50. That clean wind is wasted. Tuesday the 8th afternoon has a single 14-second period groundswell, but it’s only 0.7ft from the east with a cross-shore breeze—just a ghost.
The final days, Sunday the 13th, we’re back to onshore winds and no change in the tiny swell. It’s a total shutout. For beginners who just want to sit in ankle-biters, maybe. For anyone else, leave the board at home. No standouts, no hope. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a long wait.
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. 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.
