Alright, let’s break it down, the Spanish Point picture.

We’re staring down a pretty quiet start. Spanish Point, a reef and point break, needs a decent west swell to fire, and for the better part of a week and a half, it’s just not there. The water is about 61°, which is standard for this time of year.

From the 11th through the 18th of July, it’s basically flat. Tiny waves, mostly under 2 feet, with very low energy. A little bump hits on the 19th and 20th with some waist-high waves around 4 feet, but with a short, bumpy 6-second period. That’s just messy, choppy conditions on Sunday the 19th – not worth the paddle.

By Monday the 20th afternoon, things perk up. We get a 5-foot swell from the WNW with a 7-second period and the energy reading jumps to 254 – that’s got some push. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NE, so the shape should be good. That’s a solid pick for the experienced surfer, as it’s a bit much for beginners.

Tuesday the 21st morning is your true standout. A solid 5 feet from the WNW again, but the period stretches to 8 seconds and the combined energy hits 306 – that’s proper power for the point. The wind is a glassy cross-off from the NNE. This is the best session on the table for an advanced surfer who knows the reef.

After that, it gets choppy again through the rest of the week. Then, on the 26th of July, we see another spike – 6 feet from the WNW with an 8-second period and a massive 404 energy reading. That’s strong, heavy swell. It’s a Sunday morning with light rain and a clean cross-off wind. That size makes it expert-only at a reef point, but it’s got some serious promise if you’ve got the skill. Mark that one as a hopeful call, just over a week out.

So, a long quiet spell, then a couple of promising mornings for the pros. Circle the 21st and the 26th.

Rusty.

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.
