The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming up.
It's a rough start, no two ways about it. We're staring down a long dry spell with nothing but flat, weak, and messy slop. From now, all the way through to the morning of August 12th, it's a total write-off – tiny swell, naff winds, and just poor surf. Don't bother paddling out.
The first real sign of life hits on the morning of August 12th at Spanish Point. A little pulse shows up – a 4ft swell out of the west-southwest. The combined energy gets a decent kick (332), and with light cross-offshore winds from the south-southeast, it'll be clean. The water's a touch warmer than usual for the time of year, sitting at 62°. The morning is your window, because the wind shifts in the afternoon and messes it all up.
Now, the real standout is the morning of Sunday, August 16th. This is the one. We've got a solid 6ft swell from the west, with a combined energy pumping at (408). The wind is a light, clean cross-offshore from the east-northeast, which is exactly what you want here. The swell is a bit chunky, so this is for the advanced crew who know how to handle this reef and point setup. The crowds can be a thing sometimes, so get there early. The afternoon looks even bigger at 7ft with a proper offshore wind, but that's getting into the too-big-for-this-break territory.
So, a lot of waiting, then a couple of good windows, with the 16th being the one to pin your hopes on.

Information about the Spanish Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Spanish Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Spanish Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Spanish Point 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 Point) 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 Point 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.
