The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Spanish Point over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty bleak start to the outlook. There's a solid stretch of nearly two weeks where the surf is just not worth paddling out for. The first real sign of life comes on the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July, but before that, we're looking at flat, weak, or messy conditions.
Alright, let's cut to the chase. The one standout, and it's a big one, is the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. The swell is going to be pumping, with a solid 7ft of swell rolling in from the WNW. The swell energy is going to be strong (708), and the wind is forecast to be light from the WNW, which is actually cross-on here, but with light airs we should get some clean enough faces. The caveat is that this is an advanced-only affair. At 7ft, it's big, and it's at a reef and point break, so you need to know what you're doing. Don't even think about it if you're a beginner.
Leading up to that, the water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 63°, so you can get away with a thinner wetsuit.
The afternoon of the 29th still has a solid 7ft swell, but the wind shifts to a straight onshore, which will mess up the shape. The morning is the window.
The days following the 30th of July drop off again, with smaller, weaker swell and onshore winds, so that Wednesday morning is your only real shot at something special.
That's it for now. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but that 29th is looking like the one to circle.

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.
