About Spring Lake Surf Travel
Mambo Beach, a hollow beachbreak, and Washington, a longboard haven, form the north end of Spring Lake. Plan on some mushy takeoffs and plenty of hassles with the “log set” at Washington, as it is one of Spring Lake’s designated surfing beaches. The other surfing beach is at the very end of Spring Lake and is commonly called Surfer’s Beach or Kook Bay. Surfer’s is always crowded, as you can just drive up, check it and go. It can be really fun on a south swell, as the inside corner will bowl up and produce a really fun, hollow left. Generally, Surfer’s is a mushy wave and a great beginner spot.
At the south end of Spring Lake, you’ll find another series of jetties that can produce some great days. The actual South End Jetty is a bit longer than the rest, because the sandbar is a bit farther outside, so it’s a good spot on bigger days. There’s also a left just down the beach that can get good on a northeast swell.
