The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get right into it. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and I gotta be straight with you – paddle surfing is just not on the menu for the next two weeks at Lake Worth Pier. We’re looking at a pretty grim run of small, weak, and messy conditions.
The story starts on Thursday, July 23. There’s a tiny bit of swell in the water, but with a combined energy of just 16, it’s barely a ripple. Winds are onshore from the East at 12 mph, just blowing the top off what little there is. It’s a no-go. That same pattern continues through Friday and Saturday – tiny waves from the East-Northeast, cross-onshore winds, and the energy stays in the 20s and 30s. It’s not surfable.
We get a bit of a break Sunday morning, July 26, with a light offshore wind from the West-Southwest at 3 mph. The water will be clean, but with a swell of 1 ft and barely any energy (17), you’re still just staring at a flat lake. The rest of the week into the end of July is more of the same – tiny, low-energy conditions. The energy is in the single digits or low teens. On Monday, July 27, we get a clean offshore wind, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft with an energy of 7. Don’t bother.
The first weekend of August shows a little bump in size, but it’s not for us. Saturday, August 1, sees a shift to a 3 ft swell from the South-Southeast, but that’s coming with a short period of 4 seconds and a moderate cross-onshore breeze. The energy is moderate here at 41, but the quality is poor. Sunday, August 2, is the same story. The setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
The swell sticks around into the second week, but it’s all short-period, onshore slop. The biggest looking day is Friday, August 7, with a 3 ft swell from the East-Northeast and a combined energy of 61. But it’s onshore wind at 12 mph, with that energy coming from a short, weak period. It’s a washing machine. This is a blank run, plain and simple. With no consistency or quality on offer, there’s nothing to recommend for a surfer. The water temp is a warm 86°F, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only good news.
Stay sharp, check the charts, and maybe take the board out for a polish. This drought won’t last forever.
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.
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.
