The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper session. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak waves and mostly shifty winds. The only real glimmer of hope comes in the last few days, but even that is a long way off.
The first proper chance to paddle out doesn’t roll around until late in the window. Up until then, it’s a desert. From now (July 13th) right through to the 25th, it’s a near-total bust. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 1 ft, with very weak energy levels (16-44). The water temp is a warm 84°F, which is bang on average for the time of year, so you won’t need a wetsuit, but you’ll be floating on a lake.
The only spot we’ve got to talk about is Spanish House. It’s a sandbar, exposed to the NNE, but the swell barely scratches the surface. It’s notorious for being inconsistent, which is exactly what we’re seeing. The first week is a washout with poor surf conditions and a messy mix of cross-on winds. The mornings of the 15th, 16th, and 17th offer glassy conditions, but with undersized, weak swell (1 ft-1 ft, periods of 7-8 seconds, energy 16-33), it’s just not worth the effort.
We finally see a slight uptick on the morning of Saturday, July 26th. The combined energy hits 94 (moderate), with a clean 3 ft swell from the east. The wind is a light offshore from the WSW, so the surface will be glassy. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it won’t have any grunt, but for a beginner-friendly sandbar, it’s the least bad option. The wind stays light and glassy through the afternoon, but the swell drops back to 2 ft.
Then on Sunday morning, July 27th, there’s a last chance with a 2 ft swell from the east, but the wind swings cross-shore which will mess up the lines. The week prior is all cross-off and clean conditions, but the swell is consistently below 3 ft and energy is weak.
The best call for the whole window? It’s the Saturday, July 26th morning session at Spanish House. It’s the only time the stars align even slightly. 3 ft from the east, glassy conditions, and a light offshore breeze. The water is warm, the crowds are possible but given the size, it’ll be empty. It’s not a standout, it’s a saving grace.
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.
