The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—looking at the 16-day window for Spanish House, things are pretty grim for a while. There’s a big dry spell right from the get-go.
We kick off on Wednesday the 9th of September, and honestly, there’s nothing doing. For over a week, from the 9th right through to the 21st of September, the surf is tiny, weak, and messy. Swell heights are bouncing between 1.0 ft and 3 ft, but the combined wave energy is super low, often under 100 (like 18 to 67). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the east or southeast, chopping everything up. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions. Not a single session worth paddling out for.
Now, Tuesday the 22nd of September things start to change, but it’s still not good. Swell pushes up to 5 ft from the ENE, with moderate energy climbing to 205, but the wind is a chunky 16 mph cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. Still a no-go.
Wednesday the 23rd of September looks bigger but rougher. Swell hits 6 ft from the NNE, with energy jumping to 365, but again, that 16 mph onshore wind and risk of thunderstorms keep it ugly.
The first real standout comes late in the window. On Thursday the 24th of September, things finally line up. The morning shows a solid 8 ft swell from the NE, with combined energy jumping to 892—that’s strong wave energy. The wind swings light from the SSE, just a light cross-shore breeze, making for clean conditions. This is the pick of the whole forecast. For the experts out there, that’s your window. At 8 ft, it’s expert territory, and with the swell period at 8 seconds, it’s a short-period wind swell, so expect punchy, powerful waves that'll be best handled by those with some experience. The wind will keep the surface clean, and it’s the only time the forecast looks worth chasing. Keep in mind, Spanish House is inconsistent, so when it does show, it’s a rare treat, but expect it to be crowded—it gets busy when it’s on.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat, and choppy first couple of weeks, then one solid, clean morning for the hardcore crew on the 24th. Hang in there.
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.
Spanish House is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Sebastian. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sebastian. Sebastian has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
