The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Spring Lake over the next couple of weeks.
First up, honestly, it's a pretty rough start. We've got a whole lot of days with just nothing doing. The first sign of anything surfable waits until Thursday afternoon, the 3rd, and even that's just tiny, weak stuff. You're looking at a long stretch of flat, poor conditions all the way through to the end of the first week and into the second. There's a real drought of swell here.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Sunday morning, the 6th. We get a bit of a bump in swell, with some 4ft, 7-second energy from the ENE, and the combined energy is a moderate 217. The wind is a clean cross-off from the North, which is about the only positive. It's still a far cry from good, but it's the first thing that's not a total write-off.
Now, the one standout that actually gets me a little excited is Thursday morning, the 17th of September. That's the one to circle on the calendar. We're looking at a solid 6ft of swell from the East, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 221, and the wind is offshore, clean and gentle from the West. This is as close to a proper session as we're going to get in this window. It's a bit of a long-range call, so don't book the day off just yet, but it's the only time the stars look like they might align.
For the rest of the period, it's a whole lot of nothing. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there. But honestly, for Spring Lake, this kind of quiet run isn't too unusual. The forecast can always change, but right now, the only day worth a paddle is that Thursday the 17th.
Signing off, 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.
