The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me level with you about the next couple of weeks at Spanish House.
It’s a grim stretch, to be honest. We’re looking at a solid 16 days with nothing worthwhile on the cards. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Wednesday the 29th of July, and from there it’s a long, sorry run of poor surf all the way through to Thursday the 13th of August. The whole window is a no-go.
The big issue is that this is a sandbar setup, exposed to NNE swell, and it’s inconsistent as all hell. The water’s sitting at 82° on that first day, but it's running about 2° cooler than average for this time of year, so it feels a bit nippier than usual.
You’ll see tiny waves – mostly around 1.0 ft to 2 ft through the early part – with weak combined swell energy, usually in the teens or low tens (like 22, 16, 14). The wind’s mostly cross-off or cross-offshore, so the surface is clean, but there’s just no power behind it. A few afternoons go glassy with easterly breezes (like Monday the 3rd of August morning and Tuesday the 11th of August morning), but with swell that small, it’s not even a dribble to get excited about.
Toward the end of the first week into the second, things get bigger but uglier. By Friday the 7th of August morning, the swell hits 4 ft from the east with a period of 9 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 219. That’s moderate wave energy, but the wind’s blowing straight onshore from the ESE at 12 mph – it’s messy. That afternoon it pushes to 5 ft (675 combined energy, which is strong) but again onshore wind, period dropping to 8 seconds. That kind of chop and short-period bump is more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. Saturday the 8th of August stays onshore and choppy, with 4 ft swell.
Even the long-range stuff near the 13th of August shows a 1.0 ft swell with a period of 11 seconds – a little bit of groundswell potential – but it’s cross-onshore and the energy is weak (31). Not worth the paddle.
Bottom line: there is no stand-out day. No best on offer. It’s a classic dry spell for this spot. The good news? Inconsistent spots like Spanish House tend to switch on when you least expect it, and forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it, but for now, don't bother waxing up.
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.
