The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm looking at the 16-day window for Spanish House. Gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a quiet stretch. This sandbar is a beginner-friendly spot, but it's inconsistent and we're looking at a long run of small, messy conditions. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is right about normal for this time of year.
From Thursday the 27th right through to Friday the 4th of September, it’s pretty much a write-off. Swell is tiny – mostly 0.7ft to 2ft – and the wind is almost always from the east or northeast, which is onshore or cross-onshore here. We see some storm clouds and a bit of a breeze, and the combined energy is weak, getting no higher than 89. It’s just not doing anything.
The first little flicker of hope comes on Friday morning, the 4th of September. The swell is still only 2ft from the east (8 seconds), but the wind drops right out to glassy with just a slight air. Those are surfable waves, but very ordinary. Still, you might snag a knee-high roller to yourself if you’re keen.
Then we hit another gap until Monday the 7th of September. Monday morning, we get a light offshore breeze from the WNW at 6 mph. That cleans things right up. The swell is 2ft from the northeast (10 seconds), and the energy ticks up to 92. It’s still small, but that offshore wind makes it the standout of the whole forecast. For a beginner break, these are the best conditions we’ll see – clean, small, and easy.
Beyond that, Tuesday the 8th onwards, the wind swings back onshore and strengthens, making it choppy and messy again. The swell stays small.
So the one true standout here is Monday morning, September 7th, at Spanish House. It’s not pumping – 2ft of north-east swell – but with that offshore breeze, it’ll be clean and workable for a beginner session. It won't be crowded, given the conditions, so enjoy some quiet waves.
Otherwise, keep the board in the car and check the forecasts again next week.
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.
