The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it. Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the forecast for Spanish House over the next 16 days is a bit of a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf with mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, so the quality is going to be a constant battle. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 86°F with a slight anomaly, so it's a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is nice for a long wait between waves.
The main issue is the lack of any real swell. The combined wave energy is weak across the board, barely ever cracking the 50s. We're talking about tiny, weak lines that won't have much push. The only window that looks even remotely interesting is the last few days of August and into the start of September. The energy starts to climb a bit, hitting 61 on the 29th of August morning and then 76 on the afternoon of the 30th, which is the highest we'll see. Even then, the swell height is only 2ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind on the 30th of August is onshore, so it'll be a messy affair. The morning of the 29th of August looks a little cleaner with a light cross-onshore breeze, but it's still only knee-high at best.
For a beginner sandbar spot like Spanish House, the consistent small conditions are actually fine for learning, but the wind is the real killer. The odd glassy morning, like the 20th of August or the 3rd of September, might offer a brief window of clean, tiny waves, but it's not something to plan a trip around. The swell direction is mostly east or southeast, which is just about okay for this exposed sandbar, but it's not creating any quality.
Honestly, the best advice I can give for this stretch is to keep your expectations low. The surf is small, weak, and mostly blown out. If you're desperate for a paddle, the 29th of August morning might be your best bet, but it's still nothing to write home about. For the rest of the period, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
