Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down Spring Lake over the next couple weeks. Truth is, it’s a rough outlook. There’s a long, empty stretch from now all the way through to Sunday the 12th with nothing worth surfing. You’re looking at over a week of flat, choppy junk.
The first real chance comes Sunday the 12th. In the afternoon, we get a little 0.8ft SSE swell, 8-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze making it clean. Combined energy is 62 – really weak. You’ll only find knee-high slop, but it’s the cleanest of the lot. Crowds are possible here sometimes.
The next best bet is Wednesday morning the 15th. A bigger bump rolls in – 5ft from the SSE, short 7-second period, with a combined energy of 262. It’ll be cleaner with a cross-off breeze, but that short period makes it soft and walled up. Too big for beginners.
Thursday morning the 16th is worth a mention for the glassy conditions: 3ft from the SSE, 8-second period, and zero wind. Combined energy is 110 – moderate. Clean and smooth, but small.
The standout is the Sunday the 12th afternoon session for cleanliness, or the Wednesday the 15th morning for size, even if it’s short-period. Everything else is a skip. The lake is having a quiet spell.
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.
