Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spanish House over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Spanish House, but in feet and miles per hour. The water’s about 84°F, which is dead average for this time of year, so that’s not a worry. But the swell’s been on a total go-slow. Wave heights are mostly 1 foot or less, and the energy readings are weak – we’re talkin’ 11 to 59 units, so barely a pulse. This is a beginner sandbar break that’s inconsistent, and it’s showing it.
The forecast starts on Wednesday, August 12th, with 1-foot swell from the ESE, period around 6 seconds, and a cross-off wind in the morning that turns cross-on by afternoon. It’s a poor surf call. Thursday the 13th is cleaner in the morning with a light offshore, but still 1-foot, and the afternoon brings onshore wind and a drop to 0.7ft. Friday the 14th has a morning cross-shore breeze with 0.7ft from the east, but the afternoon period tanks to 4 seconds – that’s just messy. Saturday the 15th sees a period bump to 12 seconds, but the swell is still 0.7ft, and cross-on winds chop it up. From Sunday the 16th through the end of the first week, it’s the same story: 1-1ft swell, mostly from the ESE, periods 8-9 seconds, and winds light cross-off, cross-on, or glassy. The best of a weak bunch is Tuesday morning the 18th with glassy conditions and 1ft from the ESE, but it’s still poor surf. Wednesday the 19th has a cross-shore wind and a 2ft east swell, period 10 seconds – that’s the closest to a wave, but the energy is only 59, so it’s weak.
The second week, from the 21st through the 28th, doesn’t improve. Swell stays 1-2ft, periods 6-9 seconds, and winds are often cross-on or onshore. Friday morning the 21st is glassy with 1ft from the east, and Sunday the 23rd has a little more energy (46) but still poor conditions. The final day, Thursday the 28th, has a light cross-off and 1ft from the ENE. There’s no standout here, mate. The glassy mornings on the 18th and 21st are your best bet if you just want to bob around, but don’t expect to catch anything real. Spanish House is in a lull – a flat spell that’s hard to get excited about.

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.
