The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. Right across the 16-day window, the surf at Spanish House is tiny and messy. There’s no real standout day, no proper swell to get excited about. You’ll be waiting a long time for anything rideable.

The first recommendation doesn’t even show up until Monday the 17th of August, and even then it’s barely worth a mention. From now up until that point, it’s a full 8 days of poor surf conditions – mostly small, weak, cross-onshore slop with combined energy values sitting between 7 and 75 (weak). Tuesday the 11th has a glassy morning, but the swell is only 1ft from the ESE with a short 7-second period and energy of just 22 – it’s flat, really.

The whole period is dominated by wind that’s mostly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping up what little wave there is. When the wind does go offshore or glassy, the swell is too small to ride. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

Now, for the only real option – Spanish House (sandbar). It’s an inconsistent beginner spot, exposed to NNE swell, but the swell window is mostly from the east and southeast. The best looking stretch is from Monday the 17th to Friday the 21st of August. Monday morning the 17th has a 2ft east swell, 9-second period, light cross-offshore wind from the NNW, and combined energy of 42 (weak). Conditions are described as “clean” but still ordinary. Tuesday the 18th morning is glassy with the same 2ft east swell, but again, tiny. Wednesday the 19th morning sees a long-period 13-second east swell, 1.0ft, with a gentle offshore west wind – that’s the cleanest you’ll see, but the swell height is underwhelming. The combined energy jumps to 65 (still weak). Thursday the 20th morning has a 2ft east swell, 11-second period, clean offshore west wind, and energy of 153 (moderate). This is the most energetic wave in the whole forecast, but still only 2ft. Friday the 21st morning has 2ft east swell, 9-second period, moderate offshore wind, and energy of 90 (weak). Consistent? No. This spot is inconsistent, so a blank run like this is normal for the area. Crowds are only “sometimes” an issue, and with conditions this poor, you’ll have the place to yourself.

Honestly, if you’re set on paddling out, the best bet is Thursday the 20th morning for the cleanest 2ft east swell with moderate offshore wind. But there’s no standout – it’s a survival session, not a highlight. For kitesurfing, the moderate cross-onshore afternoons might offer more fun than paddle surfing.

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.
