Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey folks, Rusty here. I’ve looked over the next 16 days for Spring Lake and I’ve got to be honest – it’s a total flat spell. This sandbar is usually consistent, but the swell just isn’t showing up. The water on Thursday 2 July is sitting at 71°F, nearly 3°F warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing.
The entire first week is tiny windswell – nothing over 3 ft and mostly knee-high or less. Winds are all over the place: cross, onshore, cross-onshore. The only morning that looks glassy is Friday 3 July, but the swell is just 1 ft with a short period, so it’s barely breaking. By Saturday 4 July we get a clean offshore WNW breeze, but again the swell is rubbish. That pattern holds all the way through the second week. The combined energy stays weak – mostly two-digit numbers, occasionally hitting 185 on Wednesday 8 July morning with 5 ft, but that’s accompanied by a cross-onshore wind and a short period, so it’s a messy closeout.
The only real glimmer comes on Thursday 16 July afternoon. The wind turns cross-offshore, and there’s 2 ft of swell from the SSE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is 60 – still weak – and the conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary”. That’s the best of the lot, and it’s not worth a special trip. For the rest of the forecast, it’s either flat or too windy.
So, mate, we’re looking at a blank run. Spring Lake is normally consistent, so this is a bit of a letdown, but it happens. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave your board in the garage.

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.
