The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve gone over the forecast for Spanish House, and it’s looking like a lean spell for the next 16 days. This is a sandbar that doesn’t break often, and it needs a north-northeast swell to fire. Right now, there’s a big gap of poor conditions from the start all the way to the end of August.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday morning, August 27th. We’ll see 2ft of easterly swell at 12 seconds, with moderate energy (130). It’ll be glassy under a slight breeze, so it’s clean. But the quality is still low—just a 1 out of 10 vibe. The swell direction isn’t ideal for this spot, and the size is tiny.
Friday morning, August 28th, bumps up a touch: 3ft from the east-southeast at 10 seconds, with 144 energy. Clean conditions thanks to a light offshore from the southwest. Still just surfable, not good.
Saturday morning, August 29th, is similar: 3ft from the east at 9 seconds, 109 energy, clean with a light offshore. Nothing special.
Monday morning, August 31st, offers a tiny 1ft from the northeast at 8 seconds, 41 energy—clean but very small. The afternoon gets glassy with the north-northeast wind dying.
Then Tuesday morning, September 1st, we see the biggest height: 3ft from the east-southeast, but with only a 5-second period. That’s a weak windswell, so the waves will be crumbly and gutless. Energy is just 66. At least it’s glassy.
The best of a bad bunch is Thursday the 27th morning or Friday the 28th morning if you want a clean, tiny wave. But there’s no standout here—no good swell, no quality. The break is inconsistent, so this quiet run is normal. For the rest, it’s mostly onshore slop.
Hang in there, forecasts can shift. For now, it’s a hard pass.
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.
