The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
To be honest, this is a tough one. The entire 16-day window from September 7th through the 22nd is a write-off for any kind of decent surf at Spanish House. The forecast is a long, flat run of poor surf conditions with no standout sessions to get excited about. The first real recommendation for surf doesn’t even get a look-in until the very end of the period, and even then it’s a mess.
The whole outlook is dominated by small, weak swell. The combined wave energy stays low, with values mainly in the teens to low 80s (like 26, 82, 150) – that’s weak, unappealing energy. The swell height barely scrapes above 3ft, and most of the time it’s hanging around 1.0ft to 2ft. The swell direction is mainly from the east-northeast, which is not the optimum direction for this spot (NNE is preferred here). The period is short, mostly 7 to 9 seconds, so there’s no grunt behind it.
The wind is the real killer. Onshore and cross-onshore winds dominate, with a lot of “risk tstorm” and “mod rain” conditions. Even when the wind is light, it’s blowing the wrong way. There are a few isolated moments of glassy conditions on the mornings of September 15th, 16th, and 17th, but the swell is so tiny (1.0ft to 2ft) that it’s barely surfable. The water temperature is a nice 84°F on the 7th, which is about average for the time of year, with a negligible anomaly of -0.2°F.
The only time the swell bumps up to something worth noting is on the 22nd of September, with a 6ft swell from the NNE. But look at the wind – 19 mph onshore from the ENE with a fresh breeze. That’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. The wave energy hits 344 (moderate), but it’s too big for beginners and the wind is terrible. It’s more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle surf session.
This is a spot that’s inconsistent, and this run of poor surf is a classic example of that. It’s a blank stretch of at least 15 days with no real recommendation. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
Spanish House is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Sebastian. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sebastian. Sebastian has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
