The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle for any kind of quality surf. We’re looking at a long, dry run with no real standouts. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are mostly ordinary. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off leaving the board in the car and finding something else to do.
The first few days are a total write-off. From Friday the 31st right through the first week of August, the swell is barely a ripple. The best we see is a tiny 3ft pulse from the SSE on Sunday the 2nd, but it’s a short-period 5-second windswell, and the combined energy is only 63 (weak). It’s surfable, but only just. Then we get a few glassy mornings with tiny waves, like Monday the 3rd afternoon and Tuesday the 4th morning, but the swell is still under 2ft. It’s a real desert out there.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. The only flicker of something bigger comes around Thursday the 7th and Saturday the 8th, where the swell height nudges 3ft from the east. The combined energy on Saturday the 8th morning hits 117 (moderate), but it’s still a short-period 8-second windswell and the wind is cross-on or onshore. It’s messy.
Honestly, the only break we’ve got to look at is Spanish House. It’s an exposed sandbar, inconsistent, and only for beginners. The optimum swell direction is NNE, but we’re getting nothing but small east and southeast energy the whole time. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t expect a warm bath.
For a true standout? There isn’t one. The best of a bad bunch would be the Saturday morning, August 8th at Spanish House. The swell is 3ft from the east, with a combined energy of 117 (moderate), and it’s glassy. But it’s still a tiny, weak wave and the break is inconsistent. It’s a session for the longboard or a foamie, and even then, you’ll be scratching for any sort of ride.
This is a blank run. The area is just in a flat spell. It’s not unusual, but it’s frustrating. Forecasts can change, but for now, the surf is a no-go.
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.
