The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, cause it’s gonna be a long flat spell out here at Lake Worth Pier. That’s the name of the game for this whole 16-day stretch, and honestly, it ain’t looking pretty. We got a whole lotta nothing on the horizon.
The first week is a write-off. From Friday the 11th right through to Thursday the 17th, we are looking at nothing but tiny, mushy slop. We’re talking waves under three feet, if you can even call them waves. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be bumpy and messy. There might be a few ankle-biters, but you’d be fighting the chop for nothing. It’s a long, flat, and frustrating stretch to kick things off.
We get a little tease of cleaner conditions around Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd with some glassy mornings, but the swell is still pitiful. You’ll get some tiny lines, but nothing with any push. It’s the kind of surf you only bother with if you’re absolutely desperate for a paddle.
Then, things finally pick up in the second week. We see the swell start to fill in properly from the NNE around Wednesday the 23rd. The size climbs from 4-5 feet by Wednesday afternoon. The energy is still moderate, but it feels like a real pulse compared to the nothing we've had. The problem is, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which is gonna chop it right up. It’ll be a step up from flat, but those conditions are gonna make it tough.
We finally get a standout around Friday the 25th. The swell holds at around 5 feet, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, making it a bit more lined up. This is the best of the bunch, but it's still onshore wind messing up the surface. So, it's not going to be perfect. This is the one you’d circle if you're desperate for something with a little bit of power. It won't be clean, but it'll be surfable. Even with the onshore wind, it'll be better than everything else by a long shot.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch for everyone, not just the beginners. With the combo of weak, short-period swell and persistent onshore wind, the surf at this beach-and-pier setup is pretty much a non-event. It might actually hold more interest for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers, especially during those stronger wind days mid-week.
Don't get too down though. The long-range forecast on that Friday and into that weekend has the most potential. It's still a way out there, so don't book your flights yet, but it's something to keep an eye on. The consistency will come back; it always does. Keep the faith.
