The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Spanish House over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – we’ve got a long stretch of frustratingly small surf. The whole first week is a bit of a write-off. From Wednesday July 29th all the way through to Monday August 3rd, wave heights are hanging around 8 inches to 2 feet, and the combined energy of all swells is weak, sitting at just 11 to 63. The wind is a mixed bag of offshore and cross-offshore, which keeps the water clean, but there just isn’t enough swell to push a surfer around. You’ll be bobbing around more than riding. The water temperature is reading 82°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a thin spring suit if you’re fussy.
We get a tiny bump on Tuesday August 4th and Wednesday August 5th, but the swell is still only 1 feet, and the wind swings onshore from the ESE, turning it into a messy, choppy scene. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, the real change comes on Friday August 7th. The swell jumps up to 7 feet from the east, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy of all swells is a strong 725. That’s the most juice we’ve seen by a country mile. The trouble is, the wind is cross-onshore from the ENE, and it’s choppy. This is a classic case of “heaps of water, but it’s a messy, bumpy ride.” If you’re a strong paddler who doesn’t mind a fight, there’s a wave in there, but it’s not going to be a pretty one. This is more of a kite-surfing setup, to be honest.
Saturday August 8th still has a decent 5 feet east-southeast swell, but again, the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. The energy is strong (524), but the quality is missing.
The standout session, if you can call it that, actually comes in the second week. On Sunday August 9th, the morning sees the swell drop to 4 feet from the east-southeast, but the wind turns offshore from the west. It’s a light breeze, and the water will be clean. The energy is weak (78), but you’ll get a few fun, clean little waves. That’s your best bet for a clean ride. It won’t be big, but it will be pretty.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly onshore for the rest of the run. There’s a couple of clean windows on Monday morning August 10th and Tuesday morning August 11th with 3 feet to 3 feet waves and light offshore winds, but the period is short (5-6 seconds), so the waves will be soft and fat.
Bottom line: The best session on offer is Sunday morning August 9th. It’s the only time you get clean, offshore conditions with a bit of size. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the pick of a pretty quiet bunch.
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.
