The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up – this isn’t one of those weeks where you’re racing down to the beach. The next 16 days at Spanish House are looking pretty flat and ordinary. There’s a long gap of poor to no surf at the start, with nothing worth paddling out for until maybe the third week.
The first real chance of anything comes on Tuesday morning, 18 August. Even then, it’s small. We’re talking 2 ft of east swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is weak at 47, and while the morning wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping things clean, the wave comment isn’t exactly glowing – “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The water temperature is 83°, about a degree and a half cooler than average for this time of year, so it’s a bit colder than usual, but still warm enough for boardshorts.
The best on offer in this whole outlook is probably Wednesday morning, 19 August. We’ve got a 2 ft NE swell, period 7 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 3 mph. The swell energy bumps up to 97, and it’s clean. It’s still tiny, but with offshore wind, it’ll be the most user-friendly session of the whole 16 days. Perfect for a beginner to get a few soft ones.
After that, Thursday morning 20 August shows 2 ft east swell, 10-second period, with 6 mph offshore west wind. The energy is moderate at 134, and conditions are clean. This is probably the best shaped wave of the lot, but still only 2 ft. It’s not going to blow anyone away.
The rest of the second week is a mix of tiny swell and onshore junk. There’s a brief window on Friday morning 21 August with 2 ft east swell and offshore west wind, but the energy drops to 53. Saturday morning 22 August has 1 ft ENE swell with offshore wind – again, small. By Sunday 23 August, there’s 2 ft NE swell with cross-offshore wind, but that’s about as good as it gets.
Look, Spanish House is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is no exception. There are big gaps with no recommendations. The surf stays under 3 ft for the whole 16 days, and when the period is short – 7 to 8 seconds – the waves lack punch. There’s no standout session that’s going to get your heart racing. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the mornings with offshore wind on 19th, 20th, and 21st August are your best bets. Otherwise, maybe give it a miss.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
