The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Spanish House over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it's looking like a lean stretch.
Overall, we're in for a pretty quiet period. The swell energy is consistently weak, with combined energy values mostly sitting in the low double digits to around 85, which tells you there's just not a lot of power in the water. We're talking tiny, weak waves for the vast majority of the forecast.
The first real chance to even get wet won't come until Tuesday morning, August 18th. The swell is still tiny at 1ft from the East with a long period of 13 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 61. That long period is a sign of some groundswell energy, but on a beach break like Spanish House, it might make things a bit too straight and sectiony. Still, the wind is glassy – absolutely flat calm – so it'll be clean. It's not going to be anything to write home about, just a little knee-high dribbler to get your feet wet.
From there, we see a few more mornings offering surfable, but very ordinary, conditions. Wednesday morning, August 19th, shows a similar story: 2ft from the East at 10 seconds (54 energy) with glassy conditions. Again, clean but small. Saturday morning, August 22nd and Sunday morning, August 23rd also offer 2ft East swells (52 and 72 energy respectively) with clean conditions and a light cross-offshore wind. These are probably the best of a bad bunch.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is those early mornings from around the 18th through to the 25th. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is pretty much spot on for the time of year, so you won't need a thick wetsuit, just your boardies and a positive attitude.
Forget about the afternoons – the wind swings onshore or cross-onshore pretty much every day, turning the already small surf into a bumpy, choppy mess. That's kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.
Honestly, this is a tough run. The swell just doesn't have any size or power. If you're desperate for a paddle and a few clean little rollers, target those glassy mornings around the 18th and 19th. But for proper waves? There's nothing on the cards. Keep an eye on it, forecasts change, but for now, don't hold your breath.
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.
