The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's take a hard look at what's on the table for the only game in town, Spanish House. I ain't gonna sugarcoat it – we're in for a lean spell.

We've got a 16-day window here, and it's going to be a long, quiet wait. The first week is pretty much a write-off. From Thursday the 20th of August right through until around the 27th, it's just tiny, weak dribble. We're talking waves around 1ft to 2ft with energy barely breaking 30 (combined swell energy of 25). Sure, there are a few clean windows with glassy conditions on the 20th morning and 23rd morning, but the swell just isn't there to do anything with. It's all short period stuff around 8 seconds too, so no power behind it. Not worth paddling out for.

The real story starts to shift in the final days of August. We finally start to see a pulse of swell arriving around the 27th, with a 0.7ft wave jumping to a very long 16-second period. That's interesting, but the combined energy is only 48, so it's still barely a wobbler. The 28th and 29th show a similar pattern – small waves, but with that longer period and clean, light offshore winds in the mornings. On the 30th of August, we get a dead-calm, glassy morning with 2ft waves, and that's about as good as it gets for a while. It's surfable, but just barely.

The standout period here, and I mean the *only* time this spot starts to talk, is the first few days of September. The 1st of September Tuesday morning brings the best combination we'll see: 3ft of swell from the ESE with a 10-second period, clean cross-offshore wind from the SSW, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 164. It's not huge, but it's the most grunt we get. The 4th of September Friday morning is another one to circle – 4ft from the NE, light offshore cross-off wind, and energy hitting 170. Those two mornings are your best bets. For the rest of it, you're looking at tiny waves and choppy afternoons.

Honestly, for a break like Spanish House that's already inconsistent, this is a tough stretch. The water temp is sitting at a very warm 86°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there waiting. If you're a beginner, the tiny clean waves on the 30th and 31st of August mornings might be a nice, safe paddle, but don't expect any real rides. For the rest of us, it's a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long, slow two weeks.

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.
