The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Grab a coffee, because this is going to be a tough one for Spring Lake.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you – it’s flat. Really flat. There are no good surf options on offer right now. The whole forecast period is a blank run, with waves barely registering a whisper. The first few days are a total write-off with tiny, weak swell and not a single recommendation popping up. We’re looking at a stretch of almost two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water is a balmy 75°F for the first entry, clocking in at a notable 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a solid few degrees warmer than we’d expect, so at least it’ll be a nice swim if you’re not surfing.
The combined energy of all swells is pitifully low, often in the teens or single digits (36). For a spot that’s a consistent sandbar, this is a ghost town. We do see a little spike on Wednesday the 9th afternoon with a 5ft S swell, but it’s a short-period (5 seconds) windswell with a moderate cross-shore wind. The combined energy climbs to 108, but it’s still messy and tagged as “poor surf conditions.” That’s not a surf session; that’s a washing machine. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only real tease comes on Monday the 14th morning. It’s glassy, with a light east-northeast breeze, and the swell is a tiny 1ft from the SE. The combined energy is 37. It’s clean, but there’s no power behind it. That’s the closest we get to a window, and it’s a long way off. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this kind of flat spell is a bit of a surprise, but it happens. Forecasts can always change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
