The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the lowdown on Spring Lake. We’re in for a lean stretch, so don’t get your hopes up for the first week and a half.
The water is a warm 74°, which is a touch warmer than what we usually get this time of year. Nice for a swim, but the surf is mostly flat. The first tiny sign of life shows up on Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd of July. We’re looking at 4ft from the SSE, with a combined energy of (295). That’s moderate energy, but the period is a short 9 seconds, so the waves will be a bit soft. The good news is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the NNW will keep the surface clean. It’s still a longboard-only party.
The rest of that week is a parade of onshore winds and choppy, tiny waves. You’ll get some glassy 2ft waves on Sunday morning, the 26th, and Monday morning, the 27th, but it’s barely a bump.
Now, the one day that’s worth booking off work is Friday, the 31st of July. The morning is the clear winner. The wind is dead calm—glassy—and a 5ft swell from the East with an 8-second period gives us a combined energy of (328). That’s a solid, moderate push. The waves will be clean and lined up, but the afternoon wind will ruin it, so you’ve got to be out there at first light. For a sandbar, the short period will save it from closing out too much.
The first few days of August bring clean, cross-offshore winds again, but the swell drops to 3ft to 4ft, with poor period. Nothing to write home about.
To be honest, with the lack of consistent swell and the messy wind patterns, most of these days look more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Only get stoked for that last morning of July.
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.
