Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spring Lake over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch ahead for Spring Lake.
The 16-day window opens with a whole lot of nothing. We’re talking days and days of tiny, messy, or flat conditions. There’s a big gap from the start all the way through to around the 24th of July where the surf just isn’t worth talking about. You’ll see a few small bumps of energy, but with poor winds and cross-onshore chop, the quality is just not there. The combined energy stays weak, mostly under 100 (34 to 77), and that tells the story.
Now, the one real standout, and I mean the only time you should even think about paddling out, is on the morning of Friday the 24th of July. We finally get a bit of life. The wind will be blowing from the SSW at 9 mph, which is a nice cross-off breeze, cleaning things right up. The swell will be 3 ft from the south, with a combined energy of 109 – moderate, but it’s actually surfable. The waves will still be ordinary, but for this forecast, clean and rideable is a win. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The rest of the window is a write-off. Even when the swell tries to push up to 5 ft on the 22nd and 25th, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is short (7 seconds or less), meaning weak, sloppy surf. The 25th morning has a clean look with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is straight from the SSE and the period is still short, so don’t expect much shape.
Honestly, if you’re not a die-hard, save your energy. The setup is more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session through most of this. The consistency is poor, and the conditions are just not cooperating.
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.
