The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I’ve gone through the numbers, and let me tell you, Spring Lake is looking like a sheet of glass for the next couple of weeks, and not in a good way. We're in for a long stretch of nothing.
From Wednesday through the weekend and into the next week, it’s dead. We're talking knee-high slop at best, with no push and no energy. Most days the energy readings are down in the single digits, which for a surfer just means no drive, no power. We'll get some clean, glassy windows here and there, but there's nothing to ride. It’s a real dry spell.
Now, there is one little blip on the radar. Around the 18th, that's a week from Tuesday, the energy jumps to 360 in the morning, and we see a pulse of east swell at about 4ft. But it’s a short-period swell, only 8 seconds, and it’s going to be blown out by onshore winds. The call is marginal at best, so don’t get your hopes up. It's probably going to be a mess.
The only other option is on the 20th. There might be a small 2ft east swell that cleans up with a light offshore breeze. The call is "surfable but ordinary." That's about as good as it gets, and it’s still pretty weak.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. This is just a dead period for the lake. For the paddle surfers, it's a time to wait. The kites will be having a blast, but for us, it's the usual summer lull. Forecasts always change, so keep an eye out, but right now, the outlook is empty.

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.
