The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down in feet, miles per hour, and degrees Fahrenheit.
We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead. The first week and a half, from the 14th through to the 25th of September, is basically a dud. The swell is tiny, mostly flat to less than 3 ft, with short periods and a lot of onshore wind. The combined energy is weak, and the conditions are just poor. There’s no reason to paddle out.
The real action holds off until the weekend of the 26th and 27th.
The only spot worth talking about is Lake Worth Pier. It needs a NE swell, and it’s about to get one.
On Saturday morning, the 26th, a proper swell shows up. We’re looking at waves around 7 ft from the NE, with a 10-second period and strong energy. The wind goes cross-offshore from the WNW at 9 mph. That’s clean. It’s a good size, but it’s getting too big for beginners.
The best session of the whole forecast is Sunday morning, the 27th. The swell is a solid 8 ft from the NE, with 9-second intervals and the energy is still pumping. But the big story is the wind: glassy, dead calm. A light NNW breeze at 3 mph. That’s as good as it gets. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. Just be aware, at that size, this is really only for the experienced crew.
After that, the window closes fast. The wind swings onshore again Sunday afternoon, and the rest of the run into the 29th is mediocre at best.
So here’s the plan: suffer through the flat spell, then be ready for that Saturday and Sunday morning session. The 27th is the day to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.

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 Lake Worth Pier 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.
