The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles for you. Spring Lake is looking pretty quiet over the next couple of weeks, so let’s break it down.
Starting Tuesday, 1st September afternoon, it’s small – only about 1ft from the southeast. Light cross-off wind, but the wave energy is weak (27). Not worth getting excited about.
Wednesday, 2nd September, brings a bit more size – around 5ft in the morning from the east – but the wind is onshore at 15 mph, making it choppy and messy. The wave energy is moderate (251), but it’s not surfable quality. Afternoon drops to about 4ft, still onshore.
Thursday, 3rd September, is your best early bet. Morning offers a clean 3ft swell from the east-southeast with light cross-off winds. Wave energy is weak (101), but it’s clean. Afternoon goes glassy, with a 2ft south-easterly swell and a 9-second period. Tiny, but if you’ve got a longboard, it might be fun.
From Friday, 4th September, all the way to Wednesday, 16th September, it’s mostly flat or very small. Swell heights range from 0.7ft to 4ft, with wave energy mostly under 100. Winds vary, but the size just isn’t there. Thursday, 10th September afternoon shows a 4ft southerly swell with light offshore wind and wave energy of 100, but the period is only 5 seconds – weak and ordinary.
Overall, Spring Lake is in a quiet spell. The pick of the bunch is Thursday, 3rd September morning for clean, small waves, or maybe Thursday, 10th September afternoon for a bit more size. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but right now, it’s pretty slim pickings.
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.
