Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lake Worth Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut right through it. I’ve looked at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s going to be a long, quiet stretch for Lake Worth Pier. There’s nothing in the 16-day window that I’d seriously recommend you paddle out for. The whole run is riddled with tiny, weak swells and cross-onshore or onshore winds that are going to keep things messy. The water temperature is sitting at 86°F which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel like a bath when you’re sitting out there waiting for nothing.
The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are offering tiny knee-high slop at best, with a combined wave energy reading of just 17 to 30 (weak) and mostly cross-onshore breezes. Monday through Wednesday of the following week are basically the same story – 0.7ft to 1ft of swell, periods around 8 seconds or less, and that wind just won’t let up. The combined energy barely cracks 30 most of the time. This is flat spell territory.
We do get a couple of brief moments of glassy conditions that might trick you into thinking it’s worth a look. On Friday morning the 17th, the wind goes light and glassy from the SSW, but all we’ve got to work with is a pathetic 1ft of NE swell at 8 seconds (combined energy 17). That’s a lake, not surf. Then on Saturday morning the 25th and Sunday morning the 26th, we get glassy conditions again, and the swell jumps a tiny bit – 3ft from the ESE on the 25th (combined energy 51) and 2ft from the SE on the 26th (combined energy 34). But the period is a short 4 to 5 seconds, which means it’ll be weak, crumbly, and probably not worth dragging your board out for. Those are your "best" moments, and they’re still not good.
Given the persistent lack of size, the poor surf quality, and the constant cross-onshore breeze, Lake Worth Pier is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during this stretch.
Hang in there, it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, I’d find another hobby for a couple of weeks.
Rusty.

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.
