The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – we’ve got a long, flat spell on the cards here. The first solid recommendation I can give you isn’t until the 11th of September, and even that’s barely a ripple.
We start with nothing. Saturday the 5th through to Thursday the 10th of September? Forget it. Tiny, weak, messy. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best with cross-onshore junk. You’d be better off finding a rock pool. The water temp is sitting at about 83°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze waiting for a wave that never comes.
The first glimmer of something happens on Friday the 11th of September. Spanish House (sandbar) finally sees a small bump – a 1ft swell from the ESE, but with a period of 8 seconds, so it’s weak and short-period. The combined energy is only 52, which is weak. But the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SSW, cleaning it up a little. It’s surfable, but just barely. Honestly, it’s more of a paddle than a surf session.
Saturday the 12th morning? Glassy as a mirror – 1.0ft from the ESE, wind is dead calm. It’s pretty, but there’s no power. You could sit out there and enjoy the stillness, but you won’t be riding much.
The most interesting day in this whole outlook is Sunday the 20th of September. We see a bit more size pushing in – 2ft from the NE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy hits 113 (moderate). That’s the best energy we see in the whole 16 days. The swell direction is NE, which is a cross-on for this break, not ideal. The wind is onshore from the ENE at 9 mph in the morning, and cross-onshore in the afternoon, so it won’t be glassy. Still, for this region, that’s the standout window – but it’s a long way out, so don’t bank on perfection.
All in all, we’ve got a big gap from now until the 11th with nothing, then a few days of tiny waves, and a hopeful little pulse around the 20th. It’s not great, but it’s what we’ve got.

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.
