The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the local skinny. We're looking at a pretty flat spell ahead, so don't be in a rush to grab your board.
The only spot on the radar is Spanish House, a sandbar setup that's a beginner's wave but it's inconsistent. The water temp is sitting at 85° with a normal anomaly, so it's about average for this time of year.
For the next week and a half, it's a real struggle. Thursday the 16th through to the morning of Tuesday the 22nd shows nothing but poor surf, with tiny waves that barely crack 1ft to 4ft, all short-period junk. The wind is all over the shop, but mostly cross or onshore, keeping things messy. The energy is weak, reading between 17 and 51 on the combined swell energy scale. There's just nothing to get excited about.
We get a small blip on Tuesday afternoon the 22nd, with a 3ft swell from the SE, but it's still short-period and described as "surfable but very ordinary." The combined energy is only 51, so it's still weak. The glassy conditions on Thursday morning the 23rd with a 2ft east swell (energy 34) are a tease, but it's just too small to bother with.
The next week, from the 25th of July onward, the swell energy starts to creep up. We see readings of 110 and 113 on Saturday the 25th with a 3ft east swell (9 seconds), but the wind is cross-on and choppy, so the quality is still poor. The combined energy climbs to 192 on the 29th, but it's still a messy, short-period east swell with poor conditions.
The one sliver of hope is the morning of Monday the 27th. It's glassy, with a 2ft east swell (7 seconds). The energy is just 52, so it's small, but with zero wind, it'll be the cleanest you'll find in the whole 16-day window. It's not a standout, but it's the best on offer.
Overall, there's a long gap of about 10 days with no real surf. The end of the period, around the 30th and 31st, shows a glimmer of cleaner, cross-off wind conditions, with a 3ft and 3ft east swell, but the energy is moderate at best. It's not a total write-off, but don't hold your breath.
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.
Spanish House is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Sebastian. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sebastian. Sebastian has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
