Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spring Lake over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for Spring Lake. I gotta be honest with you, it's a pretty quiet run we're looking at over the next couple of weeks. The forecast is showing a whole lot of small, weak surf and only a couple of moments that might get your hopes up.
The problem is a persistent lack of any real, grunty swell. We're stuck with short-period, weak windswell for the most part, with combined energy values barely cracking 100. This setup is much better for a paddle around the lake than a proper surf. The sandbar is exposed to the east-northeast, which is the optimum direction, but the swell just isn't cooperating.
We kick off from Thursday the 9th with nothing on offer, and it's a similar story all the way through the following week. We see tiny pulses of around 1.0 ft to 2.0 ft, but they're either onshore, crumbled by cross-chop, or just too weak to do anything with the energy barely hitting triple digits. There's a long, dry spell here with no real recommendations.
After that long gap, we finally see a bit of life on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th. But don't get too excited; it's still tiny 2.3 ft to 3.9 ft stuff, and the wind is an issue. It’s mostly cross-off, which is clean, but the swell is coming from the south and south-southeast, which isn't ideal for this spot.
If you're aching for something with a bit of push, you have to wait until Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th of July. A bit more size rolls in. We're looking at 4.9 ft to 5.6 ft from the east, with combined energy finally climbing into the moderate range (156 and 211). However, the wind is a cross-onshore breeze from the northeast and east-northeast, at 15.5 to 18.6 mph. That's going to make for some lumpy, choppy conditions. It's not going to be clean, and at 5.6 ft, it's starting to get a bit too big for the beginners. If the wind was offshore, this would be the standout, but as it is, this setup might actually be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
So, to wrap it up for Spring Lake, the best bet in this 16-day window looks like the Wednesday and Thursday at the end of the month but be prepared for a fight with the wind. For the rest of the time, you might be better off with the lake being glassy for other activities.

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.
