Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Spring Lake.
Honestly, it’s gonna be a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window looks pretty flat and uninspiring for the most part. There’s a few days of tiny, weak waves, but nothing that’s really gonna get the heart pumping. The first proper bump of size doesn’t show up until Tuesday, July 21st, and even then, it’s a messy one.
The only real standout is the morning of Tuesday, July 21st. We see a jump in swell to 8ft from the SSE, with a combined energy of 581 (moderate), and it’s coming out of the ENE direction, which is what Spring Lake likes to see. That’s a bit of a size jump, pushing into the territory where it’s more for the experienced crew. The wind is a light cross-shore from the S, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but at least not completely blown out. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and sectiony, but it’s the best we’ve got.
The rest of the run is a write-off. Most days are under 2ft, with a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
For the first week, from Thursday, July 9th, right through to Monday, July 20th, it’s a total dud. You’re looking at ankle-snappers or less, with poor conditions. The afternoon of July 21st gets a bit of size but the wind swings to a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and ugly. After that, it drops back down to tiny stuff through the end of the outlook.
If you’re desperate for a paddle on that July 21st morning, you might get a few closeouts, but don’t get your hopes up. The rest of the time, the lake is going to be looking pretty flat. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area, so don’t be too surprised.
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.
