Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk Spring Lake.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: this 16-day stretch is a total bust for surf. There’s just no energy in the water. The combined energy of all swells directed here barely ever gets into triple digits, mostly sitting way below 100 – we’re talking weak, baby stuff.
Starting Friday, July 3rd, we’ve got a tiny 1ft SE swell with a 9-second period. The wind is glassy out of the NW in the morning, so the surface is like glass, but you can’t ride what isn’t there. That same frustrating pattern drags on through the weekend. Even the so-called bigger days, like Monday afternoon, July 6th, showing 3ft from the east, the period crashes to just 4 seconds. That’s pure wind slop, not a wave you want to be on.
On Saturday, July 11th, the wind cranks offshore from the WNW at 19 mph, which would make things perfect if there was any swell. But the wave height is barely 1ft and the energy is only 15. Clean, but flat as a pancake.
The final week gets even worse. By Monday, July 13th, the wave heights drop to 0.3ft with a combined energy of just 3. You’d need a magnifying glass to see a bump. There’s a tiny pulse on Thursday, July 16th, with a 3ft SSE swell and energy of 60, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore and the period is short and weak. That setup would be more fun for a kite than a paddleboard.
There are zero standout sessions here. No solid swell, no good combination of height and wind. This is just one of those quiet spells at a sandbar that needs a real push to work. I’d leave the boards in the car and go do something else for a while.
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.
