The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a hard look at what's coming down the line for Spanish House. I'll be straight with you, it's a tough forecast.
This is one of those outlooks where we're staring at a long, flat spell before anything even remotely worth a mention shows up. For the first 12 days, from August 5th right through to August 16th, you can pretty much leave your board in the car. We've got tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. The waves are mostly in the 1 to 4 feet range, but the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore for almost the entire time, chewing it all up. The water is sitting at 82°, which feels a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't arrive until Monday the 17th. On Monday morning, we finally get a break in the weather. A light WNW wind will be blowing cross-offshore, cleaning things up. The swell is tiny, only 2 feet from the east with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 42. It's not going to blow your mind, but it will be surfable after that long dry spell. The break is inconsistent, so you'll have to be patient.
Then, on Tuesday the 18th, the morning looks promising again. We get a clean, offshore breeze from the WSW at 6 mph. It's the same deal: 2 feet east swell with a weak energy of 50. For a sandbar that's inconsistent and exposed to the NNE, this light offshore wind is a major positive. It's going to be clean for the morning and very ordinary, but it's the best we've got.
The other standout, believe it or not, is Wednesday the 19th in the morning. We're looking at dead calm conditions – glassy. The swell is a pathetic 2 feet from the east and the energy is a weak 54, but if you're desperate for a paddle and some clean, tiny waves, this is your window. The crowds here are only "sometimes," so you might have it to yourself.
Honestly, the surf quality is so poor for this whole period that if you see any decent wind, this beach setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the non-experts. For those just starting out, any day with swell under 5 feet and an offshore wind is your best bet, but don't expect much.
So there it is. A long wait for a couple of clean, tiny mornings. Keep your expectations low.
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.
