The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. I’m looking at the forecast for Spanish House, and I gotta be honest with you, it’s gonna be a slow grind for a while. This is a sandbar set-up that’s exposed to the open ocean, and for the next week and a half or so, the ocean is just gonna be flat-out sleepy.

The first stretch, from the 8th through the 17th, is a write-off. We’re talking waves barely pushing 0.7ft to 4ft, with onshore winds messing up most sessions. The energy is weak, with the combined swell energy struggling to get past the 200s (228) early on, then dropping to single digits (5) at its lowest. It’s small, it’s choppy, and it’s not worth paddling out for. The water temp is 83°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so keep that in mind if you’re just going for a dip.

There is a little window on the morning of the 12th and 13th where the wind goes light offshore and the water looks clean, but the swell is only 1ft. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. You’d be better off on a paddleboard.

We finally see a pulse of life starting on the 18th. The morning of the 18th has a touch more size (2ft) with a longer period (10 seconds) and clean conditions, but it’s still very ordinary. The 19th morning sees the period jump to 13 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, but it’s still tiny at 1ft. The energy is finally picking up though, with the combined energy hitting 108.

The one true standout in this whole window is the morning of the 20th of August. We’ve got a clean 3ft of east-southeast swell with a 10-second period. The wind is light offshore, and the combined energy jumps to 192. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’re going to get, and it’ll be glassy and clean. This is your window if you’re desperate for a wave.

After that, it fades back into the ordinary range. The 21st has a clean 2ft morning, and the 23rd morning is glassy with a 2ft northeast swell, but it’s not going to get your heart racing.

Honestly, the whole period is a far cry from firing. The swell is just not there, and when it does show up, the winds are mostly onshore. For a sandbar, we need more power and a better angle. The small periods early on (7-8 seconds) mean it’s just not going to have any push. The longer-period swell on the 19th is a tease, but it’s way too small.

If you’re a beginner, this is fine for a splash around, but for anyone else, it’s a long wait. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler for most of this, especially when the wind picks up in the afternoons. But hey, that’s the nature of this spot. It’s inconsistent, and it doesn't stay flat forever. Keep an eye on the horizon, the longer period swells are starting to show up in the second week, so things could change.

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.
