The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty checking in. Honestly, things are looking flat and windy for Spanish Point over the next sixteen days. The first week is a total bust – tiny waves and lousy wind. Expect a long stretch of nothing much.
Water temp is 63°, a tad warmer than average – you might get away with a thinner suit.
The only real chance of any action comes around the weekend of July 25th. Saturday the 25th sees swell pick up to 5ft from the WNW, but with 19 mph cross-onshore winds, it's lumpy and messy. The energy is there though (358 for the afternoon).
Then Sunday, July 26th, shapes up as the best bet. The morning brings 6ft of WNW swell – short period at 8 seconds – with light cross-onshore winds under 7 mph. That's the cleanest window we get. The energy is building (389). It's going to be a bit unruly, and that size is going to be too much for beginners. But for experienced surfers wanting some power without getting blown off the face, that Sunday morning is it.
Monday the 27th gets even bigger – 8ft in the morning (790 energy) – but it's blown out by 16 mph cross-onshores. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean wave day.
After that, it trails off quickly into small, choppy slop through the end of the month and into August.
So, if you're keen and you've got the skills, lock in Sunday morning July 26th at Spanish Point. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.
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.
