The Lowdown
Right, I’ll be honest with you crew, it’s a pretty bleak picture out at Spanish House (sandbar) for the whole outlook. This is a beginner-friendly sandbar that’s inconsistent, and it’s showing over the next 16 days. There’s not a single day where the surf quality is worth paddling out for. The first recommendation on the books is from Sunday the 6th onwards, but it’s a real struggle.
The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about 0.9° off the long-term average for this time of year. So nothing unusual on that front.
The combined swell energy hits a peak of 160 (moderate) on Wednesday the 9th afternoon, with a 3ft NE swell and an 8-second period, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it choppy and poor. The morning of the 9th is a bit cleaner with light cross-onshore winds, but the swell is still tiny and weak. The whole run is plagued by poor surf conditions – every single row in the data says it. The swell is tiny, rarely above 2ft, and the period is always short, 4 to 10 seconds, meaning weak, close-out waves.
There’s a brief moment on Saturday morning the 12th and Tuesday morning the 15th with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1ft with an 8-second period. That’s barely a ripple. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore throughout most of the rest, with moderate breezes making it choppy.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a total write-off. There’s nothing here for a surfer. The swell is too small, the period is short, and the wind is rarely working in our favour. This setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the lack of any decent wave face. The blank run is essentially the whole 16 days. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
