Water Surge is a water-based surge spell in the standard spellbook, requiring level 85 Magic to cast. As an offensive combat spell it can only be cast on attackable NPCs, or other players in a PvP situation.

It is the strongest water spell in the game.

Damage

Water Surge has a base maximum hit of 22 which increases as the player unlocks additional surge spells, up to 24 at level 95 Magic.

85 - 89	Water Surge	22
90 - 94	Earth Surge	23

As with all combat spells, Water Surge's maximum hit is also increased based on the player's magic damage bonus.
