Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spring Lake over the next 16 days.
G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's be straight with each other: lookin' over the next sixteen days at Spring Lake, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the surf is mostly flat or real weak. There's a long stretch of tiny-to-nothing waves, and even when a pulse of swell shows up, it's battling dodgy winds. You'll be waiting a fair while for anything close to a decent wave.
We kick off on Friday the 10th of July, and it's a classic "go walk the dog" kinda day. Tiny little 1ft of easterly windswell, a poor 8-second period, and the water's sitting at a nice 71° – about normal for this time of year (0.7° anomaly). But the wave energy is a measly 42, and it's just not doing anything. The whole first week is a real letdown. Saturday and Sunday (11th & 12th) are a write-off with messy onshore winds and swell barely pushing 3ft. From the 13th right through the 20th, we see nothing but knee-high dribble and often lousy wind. There's a moment on Tuesday afternoon the 14th where a gusty offshore gives a bit of shape to a weak 2ft wave, but it's short-period junk with only 37 units of energy – not worth the paddle. Saturday the 25th of July morning looks the pick of the whole run, but that's a long way off and still nothing to get excited about. A clean 4ft of easterly swell under a light offshore breeze and 144 units of combined energy. The period's a weak 7 seconds though. It might give you a couple of runners, but it's an "ordinary conditions" warning.
Honestly, this is a classic inland lake scenario: when it's flat, it's flat. There's no real standout here; it's a holding pattern. If you're desperate for a splash, that Saturday 25th morning is the only real window, but keep your expectations low. The forecast can change, but for now, we're in a dry spell.
Stay patient,
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.
