Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spring Lake over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again, and I'm telling you, it's dry as a bone at Spring Lake. We're staring down a 16-day window with basically nothing on the table for a surf. The first week and a half is a total write-off.
We see tiny, weak swell – combined energy readings in the teens and low twenties, wave heights barely scraping 2ft to 3ft, and short periods. The wind is mostly blowing onshore or across the face, just mucking things up. Even on the few days we get clean, glassy wind, the swell is too small to break with any push. The water's a bit warmer than normal for the season, about 2°F above average at 72°, but you won't feel it with no waves to ride.
After that long lull, there's a small glimpse of hope around the 22nd of July, with the swell bumping to 3ft to 3ft from the SSE and S, but the wind kills it – cross-shore and choppy right through. The last few days of the outlook have some clean, glassy conditions with light offshore breezes, but it's tiny, 1ft swell from the southeast with weak energy (12-15). For a sandbar that wants swell from the ENE, the direction is all wrong.
For a spot that's usually consistent, this is a real down period. A dry spell like this is pretty common when the swell just doesn't show up. Leave the board in the shed and check back in a week.
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.
