The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a quiet stretch for Spanish House. The next 16 days are a real struggle for any decent surf. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with very little on offer.
The first couple of weeks are dominated by tiny, weak swell. The wave energy is pathetic, barely registering – we’re talking values in the teens and twenties (26 to 34). The swell direction is mostly from the east or southeast, but the periods are short, around 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just weak, wind-affected chop. The wind is a constant problem, often cross-onshore or cross-off, making for messy conditions. You’ll see a few moments of clean, glassy morning conditions, but with the swell height barely cracking 1.0 ft, there’s simply nothing to ride. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing to get excited about.
This run of poor surf continues right through to the end of July. There’s a slight flicker of life on Sunday, July 26th, when we see a pulse of 3 ft swell from the south, but it’s a short-period (5 seconds) windswell. The combined energy climbs to 80, which is still weak, but the wind is a factor. The morning of the 26th is glassy and clean, offering a tiny window for a longboard or a foamie, but it’s hardly a standout. The afternoon turns choppy again. After that, it’s right back to the tiny stuff.
The real story here is the lack of any quality swell. This is a classic flat spell for the area. The sandbar setup is inconsistent at the best of times, and with this forecast, it’s not worth the drive. The only plus is the odd morning with light or glassy winds, but without any wave energy, it’s a lake out there.
Stick to the skatepark for now, folks. Forecasts can change, but right now, this one’s a write-off.

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.
