The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Spring Lake.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first decent chance doesn’t even show up until Friday, July 31st, and even then it’s a real slow one. The water temp is sitting at 74°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only bright spot.
Friday, July 31st – We get a tiny window early. Spring Lake is showing a little 2ft swell from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is glassy out of the NNW at 3 mph, which makes for a clean surface. The combined energy is weak (72). It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s very ordinary – a knee-high, weak wave. The afternoon goes downhill fast with a cross-shore wind, so don’t bother.
Then we hit a dead zone. From Saturday, August 1st, all the way through to Monday, August 10th, it’s just poor surf conditions. The wind is either onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is tiny or non-existent. There’s a bit of a pulse on Tuesday, August 4th, with 4ft from the SSE and moderate energy (146), but the wind is cross-on, ruining any chance of a clean wave. This is a long gap – over a week of dud surf.
Monday, August 10th – Finally, something to talk about. The afternoon looks promising. We get a 4ft swell from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind turns light and offshore from the N at 9 mph. The wave energy is strong (230) and the conditions are clean. This is the standout of the whole 16-day forecast. The wave size is manageable for intermediates, but it’s a bit punchy for beginners. The swell direction is SSE, which is a touch off the optimum ENE for this spot, but with offshore wind and a solid pulse, it’ll be the best we see.
After that, it’s back to the slop. The rest of the run is a mix of tiny swells, onshore winds, and chop. Nothing worth chasing.
Overall, if you’re free on Monday, August 10th in the afternoon, get out there. Otherwise, save your energy.
Rusty.

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.
