The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Spring Lake has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. For the first few days, we're looking at some small, weak waves, and the wind is a mixed bag. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The only real time to even consider paddling out is this Wednesday, July 29th. We've got a little 3ft swell rolling in from the SSE, but it's short-period stuff at just 6 seconds, so it won't have much push. The combined wave energy is weak (84). The saving grace is a clean, offshore breeze from the NW, which will keep the surface smooth. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. Expect a few close-outs and not much power. A total beginner might be alright in the smaller stuff, but it's not going to set the world on fire.
After that, it's a long, dry spell. From Thursday, July 30th, all the way through to the end of the forecast window on August 13th, the report is a chorus of "poor surf conditions". The swell drops right off, the wind turns onshore or cross-shore, and it's just not going to be worth your time. There’s a tiny spike on Sunday, August 2nd, with a 5ft windswell from the S, but it's lumpy and choppy under a cross-onshore wind. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
There's really no standout session here. The Wednesday morning is the only window with a pulse and clean wind, but it's a far cry from good. We're looking at a solid two-week gap of nothing worth chasing. It's one of those blank runs that the lake can throw at us sometimes. You might as well wax the board up and wait for the next system.
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.
