The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up: we're looking at a pretty grim run for Spanish House for a good stretch. The pattern is basically flat and unfavourable for paddle surfing for over a week.
Starting off, Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are a total write-off. We're talking tiny 1ft swell with poor conditions and a score that's basically zero. A few mornings have clean-looking conditions with light offshores, but the energy is pathetic – combined swell energy is sitting in the 20s and 30s (weak). There's just nothing to ride.
Friday the 21st through to Wednesday the 26th stays in the same rut. The swell barely flickers, mostly around 1.0ft, with combined energy values still below 50. A few mornings look glassy, but it's like a lake out there. This is a real dead zone for surf.
The first glimmer of something happens on Sunday morning the 23rd. We get a clean, offshore breeze, and the swell ticks up slightly to 1ft with a combined energy of 42. It's surfable but very ordinary. Not enough to get excited about.
Now, the one true standout in this whole 16-day window is Thursday the 27th. The morning and afternoon both show a jump to 3ft from the east (12-second period), with combined energy climbing into the 170s (moderate). The wind is offshore from the WSW, 12 mph, keeping it clean. This is a moderate offshore and clean setup. That longer 12-second period will put some shape into those waves, making them more fun than anything else we've seen. This is the one to circle on your calendar.
Friday the 28th keeps some energy (169) but the wind shifts cross-off, and the quality drops back to poor. Saturday the 29th has a clean morning with offshore wind and 3ft swell, but the energy drops to 114, and it's just "surfable but ordinary." After that, from the 30th of August into September, the wind gets messy and onshore, and the swell period drops off into short-period slop. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report there.
Bottom line: for beginners, this whole run is too weak to even bother with. For everyone else, wait until Thursday the 27th for your best chance. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this outlook. The rest is a long, quiet gap.

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.
