The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell ya. This is Spring Lake we're talkin' about. Lookin' at the next 16 days, honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell. There's not a lot of push in the water, and when we do get a pulse, the wind or the conditions just aren't cooperating. It's a frustrating outlook.
The best bet in this whole run is really just a window on Friday the 31st. Early that morning, we've got glassy conditions with the ENE wind going offshore. The swell is tiny, only about 2ft from the SSE, and the period is a short 9 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 68, so it's really only gonna be micro-muscle waves. But with the calm wind, the surface will be perfect. If you've got a longboard and zero expectations, that’s your time. Expect crowds to be possible as people chase the cleanest bit of water. The water temperature is a warm 74°, which is about average for July here.
Other than that Friday morning, it's a tough slog. There's a brief moment on Monday the 3rd of August in the afternoon where the wind goes glassy again, and we see a tiny bump to 4ft from the SSE, but at a short 7 seconds, it's not gonna have any shape. The rest of the time, we're looking at cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, poor surf conditions, or just tiny knee-high slop. The moderate wave energy (125 on the 3rd) suggests there's some push, but the short period kills the quality.
If you're a kite surfer, the afternoons with a solid cross-shore breeze and some choppy 5ft waves on the 7th of August might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, there just isn't much to get excited about. This area is just starved for a decent swell window.
Alright, take it easy.

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.
