The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for Spanish House, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough run ahead. This stretch of sandbar is exposed to NNE swell, but we’re looking at a string of tiny, choppy days with hardly any energy in the water. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no complaints there.
The first real chance of anything worthwhile doesn’t show up until Saturday the 25th of July. That morning, we’ll see a little bump of 3ft swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 148, so there’s some life in it. Winds will be light and cross-offshore, making for clean conditions. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The swell direction is east, which is a bit off the optimum NNE, so don’t expect perfection. Still, it’s the best on offer in the whole window.
The rest of the 16 days is a real struggle. Most mornings and afternoons are plagued by poor surf conditions, with waves barely reaching 3ft and cross-onshore winds messing up the surface. Monday the 27th of July morning has a clean, offshore 2ft, and Friday the 31st of July afternoon goes glassy with 1ft, but these are tiny and not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate. There’s a long gap here—from now until the 25th, there’s nothing.
For a sandy spot like this, the short period (4-8 seconds) means the waves will be weak and crumbly. The only standout is that Saturday the 25th morning, and even then, it’s just a little bigger and cleaner. If you’re a beginner, anything over 5ft is a challenge, but this is fine—just don’t expect much shape. Crowds are possible here, as it’s sometimes busy.
So, keep your eyes on that Saturday the 25th, but don’t hold your breath. The rest of the outlook is a write-off.
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.
