Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spring Lake over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Spring Lake.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. Over the next 16 days, there's pretty much nothing to get excited about. The whole forecast is a long, dry spell of tiny, weak surf. The combined swell energy barely cracks a hundred, and for most of the period it's sitting in the doldrums, with values like 83 or 92 in the first few days, dropping to just single or double digits for the rest. We're looking at a significant gap of about two weeks where the surf just isn't worth paddling out for.
The only flicker of life comes right at the end of the run. On Wednesday, July 22nd, during the afternoon, we get a bit of a pulse. A south swell rolls in at about 3 feet, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally climbs up to 62. The wind turns light and cross-off, and the report says "clean." For a spot that's been starved, this is your best bet. It's surfable, but honestly, it's only just ordinary. The break is a sandbar, and with the swell direction from the south, it's not matching the optimum ENE direction, so don't expect the bank to be firing. It's a consolation prize.
If you're desperate, that Wednesday afternoon session on the 22nd is the only window. The rest of the time, the water's flat, the wind's messy, or the conditions are just poor. For a spot that's usually consistent, this is a real lull.
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.
