The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Spanish House over the next 16 days is a bit of a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with very little to get excited about. The first real surf recommendation doesn’t even appear until Tuesday the 1st of September, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. There’s a significant gap of poor conditions and no decent surf before that, so we’re basically starting from a standstill.
Alright, let’s kick off with Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. We’ve got a small 2ft swell coming from the east with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at just 60. The wind is glassy from the east at 3 mph, so conditions will be clean, but the swell is tiny and the period is short, so the waves will be weak and crumbly. The water temp is a warm 84°, which is pretty average for this time of year. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary – a real ankle-snapper. For a beginner, you could probably get a few rides, but don’t expect any quality. The break is a sandbar, inconsistent, and crowds are sometimes around, so you might have company on those little lumps.
The rest of the first week is a write-off. Tuesday afternoon sees a cross-on breeze and poor surf. Wednesday through to Sunday the 6th of September is all poor conditions with onshore and cross-on winds, making the small swell choppy and unrideable. There’s a few clean moments on Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th mornings with cross-off winds, but the swell drops to just 1ft to 1ft – not worth paddling out for.
The second week is more of the same. From Monday the 7th of September through to Wednesday the 16th of September, we’re stuck with tiny swell, mostly under 2ft, and persistent cross-on or onshore winds. There are a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 8th, Wednesday the 9th, Thursday the 10th, and Tuesday the 15th, with 1ft to 1ft of east-southeast swell and periods between 8-9 seconds. The combined energy is weak, ranging from 14 to 38. The water temp stays warm. But honestly, these are flat, non-conditions. You’d be better off with a longboard or a foamie if you’re desperate, but there’s no real wave to ride.
The only slight glimmer comes on Wednesday the 16th of September morning – clear skies, a light 3 mph southwest cross-off wind, and 1ft of easterly swell. It’s clean, but again, tiny. The afternoon turns ugly with a 12 mph east-southeast onshore and a choppy 2ft, short-period 5-second swell. Not worth it.
In short, there are no standout sessions here. The best of a bad bunch is Tuesday the 1st of September morning for absolute beginners who just want to get wet. Otherwise, it’s a two-week flat spell. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, this stretch is a dud.
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.
