The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Lake Worth Pier.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next sixteen days are a tough one for us here. The forecast is a long, flat run of tiny, inconsistent swells with hardly enough push to get a proper ride. We’re looking at a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" flagged right across the board, so don’t expect any fireworks.
Water temp is sitting at a warm 87°, which is nearly 2° above normal – it’s a proper bath out there. Not that we’ve got any waves to enjoy it in.
For the first week, from July 28th right through to August 4th, it’s all about tiny 0.3ft to 2ft swell from the ENE and NE. Wind is mostly cross-off or light, which keeps the surface clean, but with combined energy readings struggling between 4 and 38 (weak), there’s just no power. The period is short – mostly around 8 seconds or less – so these are weak, wind-driven slop.
We do get a little bump in the second week. Around August 5th and 6th, the swell direction swings more ESE, still tiny (0.7ft to 2ft) and short-period, but the wind stays light cross-onshore. The combined energy barely cracks 26 at best. Still not worth paddling out for.
There’s a brief moment on Tuesday, August 11th, in the afternoon – the wind goes glassy, and we see a little 1ft NE swell with a 12 energy reading. It’s clean, but it’s ankle-biters. Honestly, this flat spell is stubborn. Week two stays small, with the same story: tiny swells, weak energy, and mostly cross-onshore breezes keeping things bumpy.
Given the persistent lack of any meaningful swell height, short period, and low energy across the board, there’s not a single standout session in this entire 16-day window. Lake Worth Pier (Lake Worth) is a beach/pier setup, but for now, it looks more like a place to float on a board than to actually surf. For the kite surfers out there, the better breezes in the second week might offer something, but for us paddle surfers, this is a long wait.
Hang in there – forecasts change, but this one’s a dud for now.

Information about the Lake Worth Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lake Worth Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lake Worth Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lake Worth Pier 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 (Lake Worth Pier) 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 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.
Lake Worth Pier is 2 km (1 miles) from Lake Worth. If you plan a vacation in South Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lake Worth. Lake Worth has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
