The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Spanish House has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you, it’s a slow start. Real slow.
We’ve got a long, quiet stretch for the first week or so. Nothing much to get excited about from Wednesday the 26th of August right through until early September. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the winds are all over the shop, mostly cross or onshore. The water’s sitting at a warm 86°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least a dip feels good even if you’re just floating around. You’ll see a bit of a bump in energy around the 2nd and 3rd of September, with the combined swell energy jumping to 206 (moderate) but the onshore wind just chops it all up. It’s a write-off for a proper paddle session.
Now, hang in there because things start to turn the corner towards the end of the second week. The real standout window looks to be Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning session is looking prime. Clean conditions, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the northwest and a solid 3ft swell rolling in from the ENE with a good 11-second period. The energy is building nicely at 264 (moderate to strong). This is the kind of setup where those long period lines will wrap in nicely at this sandbar setup. Expect some proper shape.
But if you can hold out one more day, Thursday the 10th of September is the pick of the bunch. Another 3ft of ENE swell, but this time the wind swings offshore from the WSW at 12 mph in the morning. That’s clean, groomed faces all session. Combined energy is pumping at 346 (strong). This is genuine surf. For the afternoon, the wind backs off to a light offshore, keeping things glassy. This is the day to call in sick.
The only spot on offer here is Spanish House, a sandbar that can be inconsistent. It’s a beginner-friendly wave when it’s small, but this swell will be perfect for the intermediate crew. Just be aware, crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few friends out, especially on that Thursday.
So there you have it. A long flat spell, but a solid finish. Keep your eyes on that 9th and 10th of September. I’ll be out there.
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.
