The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are a bit of a desert for surf around Lake Worth Pier. I'm looking at the charts, and there's just no rideable energy in the water for the duration of the outlook.
We’ve got a long gap here, starting right now and running all the way through the 26th of August. For the next couple weeks, the swell is tiny—we’re talking 0.3ft to 3ft at best. The combined energy of all swells directed at the pier barely breaks into double digits, peaking at a weak 56 (moderate wave energy? No, not at that size). Most of the time it’s sitting between 5 and 39. That’s not surf, mate. That’s lake chop. The swell period is short too, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so even if there was height, there’s no push.
Wind is a constant issue. For the first week it’s nearly all cross-onshore from the ESE or SE, keeping things choppy and messy. Even the few windows with glassy or clean conditions on Wednesday the 12th morning, and Monday the 17th and 18th mornings, are still paired with useless 0.7ft to 1.0ft swell. There’s just nothing to ride.
Water temp is sitting at 86°F, about 1°F warmer than average for this time of year. It’s pretty normal for August, so no wetsuit worries, but that doesn’t help the wave situation.
By the second week, we see a tiny bump of energy on the 19th and 20th, with the combined energy hitting 51-56 from a longer-period groundswell (12 seconds). But it’s onshore wind from the E and ENE, and the wave height is only 1.0ft. That’s still a flat day.
Honestly, for this stretch, the setup looks more interesting for a longboard flat-day paddle or a kite session if the wind picks up, but we’re not here for that. Don’t hold your breath—forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Stay patient, crew.

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. 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.
