The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you—this Spring Lake forecast is a long dry spell. We’re looking at a 16-day window with barely a ripple you’d want to paddle out for. Nothing worth mentioning until Wednesday the 29th of July, and that’s only a small blip. Most of the time, we’ve got tiny, weak, messy swell from the SE and S, with cross-onshore wind making a nasty chop. Water’s sitting at about 73°, which is average for the time of year.
The only one to circle is Wednesday the 29th of July. In the morning, a light cross-off breeze from the SW at 3 mph, with a 4 ft swell from the SE, period 6 seconds. It’s just surfable—nothing special, but clean. The real moment is Wednesday afternoon: the swell bumps to 5 ft from the SSE, period 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. Zero wind, smooth faces, and the combined energy hits 497, which is decent and punchy for that size. That’s your one tiny window for a clean little solo session. Crowds are possible, but at an inconsistent spot like this, it may not be busy.
After that, Thursday the 30th of July offers 5 ft to 7 ft ENE swell, but with a strong 16 mph cross-off north wind and a short 6-second period. The setup is lumpy and better for kites than surfing. Then it all falls apart: tiny surf under 3 ft from Friday the 31st of July through the 10th of August, mostly rubbish conditions. A couple of glassy mornings on August the 4th and 9th, but the swell is 0.3 ft—nothing but a knee-deep wobble. The long gaps of nothing are normal for a place like this when the patterns are off. So, be sharp for that Wednesday arvo, and otherwise, keep an eye on the sky—forecasts can always flip.
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.
