Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spring Lake over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Spring Lake.
Honestly, I'm looking at the next 16 days and it's a bit of a tough stretch. The forecast is a long, flat grind with no real standout surf on offer. There’s a big gap of very small, weak energy right from the start, and it never really kicks into gear. We’re looking at a period where the best you can hope for is a tiny bump, and even then, conditions are a mixed bag.
The whole forecast period is a write-off for any real wave riding. We’ve got a solid 16 days of nothing special. The first few days offer tiny swell with poor surf quality, and it doesn't get any better. The most consistent energy shows up in the second week, but even then the heights are small and the wind is often messy.
The best chance, if you can call it that, is on Tuesday, July 22nd in the morning. The wind will be offshore from the Northwest at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The swell is a tiny 1 ft from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is very weak (28). It’s not going to be a session to remember, but it’s the cleanest window we have.
The rest of the period is a write-off: tiny swell, often with onshore or cross-shore winds that chop it up. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Don't get your hopes up for this one. We'll have to wait for a better pattern to set in.
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.
