The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Same story, different numbers. This 16-day stretch at Spring Lake is a dud—no proper surf anywhere in the window. The first few days: Sunday July 19th through Tuesday July 22nd, flat and clean. Water temp is 74.1°F, about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year.
The only faint glimmer is Thursday morning July 23rd—4.3ft from the SSE, period 9 seconds, clean cross-off breeze from the NNW at 12 mph. The combined energy is 257 (moderate), but the swell direction is not the preferred ENE. It’s marginal at best. Afternoon goes glassy but drops to 2.3ft. Then Thursday July 31st afternoon: 3.0ft from the SSE, period 7 seconds, dead calm. Energy is 72—weak. Surfable but very ordinary. Everything else is flat, choppy, or too small. Spring Lake is a consistent sandbar, but this 16-day run is a blank spell. Forecasts can flip, but right now, don’t bother.

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.
