Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Spring Lake – it’s gonna be a quiet one for a while. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat or messy conditions right through to the second week of July. The first session that even gets a nod isn’t till Monday the 20th, so you’re looking at a solid two-week gap of nothing worth paddling for.
Water temp right now is 74°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real standout, like a warm bath. Too bad the waves don’t match.
Early on, it’s ugly. Sunday 5th July – 0.4m (1ft) of SE swell with a short 8-second period and cross/onshore wind. Monday and Tuesday aren’t any better – sloppy 0.8m to 0.9m (3-3ft) windswell and moderate breezes making a mess. Combined energy stays weak, barely reaching triple digits (18 to 94). Honestly, if the wind picks up, you’d be better off on a kite than a surfboard.
Wednesday 8th through Saturday 11th is more tiny junk – 0.3m to 0.5m (1-2ft) waves, messy wind, and very low energy (12 to 22). Friday 10th has a clean offshore breeze from the WNW, but the swell is only 0.3m (1ft) – you’d be scratching.
We finally get a little pulse Monday 13th July – 1.2m (4ft) ESE swell with energy at 101, but the wind is cross-shore and conditions are still poor. Tuesday 14th bumps to 1.3m (4ft) but with fresh cross-shore wind and lumpy chop – not worth the trip.
The only real chance comes on Monday the 20th of July. Spring Lake finally sees a 0.9m (3ft) SSE swell with an 8-second period and clean offshore wind from the WNW. Combined energy hits 107-113, and conditions are clean. It’s not big, but after two weeks of nothing, that’s a standout. The waves will be small and a bit weak, but that light offshore breeze will make it glassy and fun for intermediates. Keep in mind, this sandbar can be inconsistent, but when it’s clean, it’s worth it.
So yeah – long wait, but circle Monday the 20th. Till then, maybe bust out the kite gear or enjoy that warm water.
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.
