The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at the outlook for Spanish House. Honestly, it's a pretty flat stretch ahead for this exposed sandbar. We've got a 16-day window here, but the first few days are really just a tease. There's a lot of nothing to wade through.
August 1st kicks things off, but it's messy. We're talking tiny 1ft E swell with a short period, and the wind is a cross-offshore, but there's a risk of thunderstorms. It's not worth paddling out for.
The pattern through the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th is the same story: knee-high waves with that short-period E swell in the 7-8 second range. The wave energy is weak, sitting between 24 and 42 (combined energy). The wind is mostly light, sometimes going offshore, but the waves just don't have any push. It's surfable for a beginner on a foamie, but there's no quality to get excited about.
We see a little bump on August 7th and 8th. The swell slightly picks up to 4ft from the E with a 7-8 second period, and the energy jumps into the moderate range—156 to 175 (combined energy). But the wind is rotten on the 7th, straight onshore from the E, and then cross-onshore on the 8th. That onshore wind is going to chop it up, especially at a sandbar. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
After that, it's a long, slow fade. From the 9th right through to August 16th, the swell drops back below 3ft, the energy sinks back into the weak zone, and the wind is mostly a moderate cross-onshore from the SE or ESE. The glassy conditions on the 15th and 16th mornings look clean, but the swell is barely a ripple—0.7ft and 2ft respectively, with very weak energy. You could go for a float, but you won't be catching anything.
Water temp is at 28°, which is a bit colder than normal for the time of year, so maybe a thin spring suit is a good idea if you’re paddling out just to sit there.
The one tiny highlight comes on Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th mornings. The swell hangs around 3ft to 3ft from the E/ESE, with a short 6-second period. The wind is a moderate cross-onshore, which isn't great, but the combined energy is around 66. It's the best of a bad bunch, but there are no standouts here. The whole period is a write-off for decent waves.
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.
