Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Spring Lake. Tough stretch ahead, folks. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for anything decent on a surfboard.
We’re staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell. From Monday July 6th right through to the morning of Tuesday July 14th, the waves are just not happening. Small, weak, and messy. The combined energy is mostly in the double digits – weak stuff, barely registering. Don’t even bother checking the surf report for the first week.
Things finally show a glimmer of life on Tuesday July 14th. The Tuesday morning session brings a little pulse of 2ft swell from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The kicker is the wind – it’s offshore from the NW, so the lake will be clean. The combined energy (62) is still weak, but after a week of nothing, this is a bit of a relief. If you’re desperate for a paddle, this is your window, but expectations need to be low.
Tuesday afternoon gets a little more interesting. The swell picks up to 4ft from the S, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 134. The wind is light and cross-off from the WSW, so the surface will be clean. For Spring Lake, this is the standout window of the whole 16 days. It’s still not a world-class day, but it’s the best on offer. The swell direction (S) is not the break’s optimum (ENE), but the size and clean conditions make it the one to aim for.
After that, it drops back into the doldrums. Wednesday July 15th onwards is back to tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. The combined energy sinks back to single digits by the end of the run. There’s a small spike on Saturday July 18th morning – 5ft from the S with a period of 6 seconds and a moderate combined energy of 147 – but the wind is cross-on from the SSE, which will chop it up and make it a mess. That one’s probably more for the bodyboarders or maybe even kite surfers than for a clean paddle session.
Water temperature? Not mentioned in the data for the first spot, so I can’t tell you if it’s warm or cold for this time of year.
Bottom line: you’ve got a long wait, then a tiny window on Tuesday July 14th. The afternoon is your best bet. Don’t get your hopes up too high – it’s not pumping, but it’s surfable and clean.
Stay patient. Forecasts can change.

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