Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spanish House over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s have a look. The only game in town over these 16 days is Spanish House. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar, but the ocean is giving us next to nothing. Swell heights are tiny – 1ft to 3ft at best – and most of the time the wind is junk, blowing cross-on or onshore. The combined swell energy is almost always weak, never breaking out of the low double-digits and only hitting 64 on one Wednesday afternoon (July 22nd). That’s not even enough to call it a pulse.
Going day by day: from Saturday July 11th, it’s a write-off. Cross-on wind at 12 mph, a 1ft swell from the ESE with a short 8-second period – just choppy, bumpy, no good. Sunday the 12th morning cleans up with a light offshore breeze, but that 1ft still isn’t rideable. Monday the 13th morning is clean but flat. Tuesday the 14th morning is glassy with only 1ft – dead. The whole first week is like that: tiny waves, often with onshore chop, and every entry reads *poor surf conditions*.
Moving into the second week, it doesn’t wake up. There are clean mornings – the 15th, 16th, 18th, and 22nd have glassy or clean conditions – but the swell stays below 2ft. The best I see is Wednesday July 22nd afternoon: the combined energy hits 64 (the biggest of the forecast), with a 2ft swell from the ESE at 7 seconds, and a light WNW cross-off breeze cleaning it up. The note says *surfable waves but very ordinary conditions*. That’s a 1 out of 10. Even that is generous.
There is nothing here to get excited about. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those afternoons with a fresh cross-on breeze could be fun, but for a paddle surfer, don’t bother. In a place where this break is listed as “inconsistent,” a run this flat is normal – that’s the character of the spot. Forecasts can always flip, but right now, I’d wait for the next proper swell.

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.
