The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. Looking at the next 16 days, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing before anything even sniffs rideable. It’s lean, real lean.
The first chance to wet a line comes on the 4th of August, but it’s a humble one.
Spanish House is the only break in the game. It’s a sandbar, good for beginners, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks well. The water is about 82°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year – about 3° off the average, so you’ll notice it.
Monday the 3rd is a waste. Winds are all over the place, swell is a pathetic 2ft from the east, period 8 seconds. Energy is a weak 30 – nothing happening.
Tuesday the 4th is the pick of the litter. The morning is glassy with a light offshore wind from the SW. The swell is tiny at 2ft from the east, period 8 seconds. Energy is still weak at 41, but the conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. If you’re a beginner or just want to stretch your arms, Tuesday morning is your only real shot.
From Wednesday the 5th all the way through to the 18th of August, it’s dead. Swell stays under 3ft, periods are short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. There’s a brief moment on the 18th of August with a light offshore wind in the morning and a glassy afternoon, but the swell is only 1ft. You’ll be floating more than surfing.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is Tuesday the 4th morning. Clean, glassy, and a tiny 2ft east swell. It’s not a day to tell your mates about, but it’s the best we’ve got.
This is a classic dry spell for the area. The forecasts are consistent, but consistently poor. Don’t get your hopes up, but don’t pack the boards away either – things can change.
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.
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.
