The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how things are shaping up… or not shaping up, to be honest. The next two weeks are looking pretty flat for us here in Lake Worth, so don’t get your hopes up for anything good. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead, with the first bit of something rideable not showing up until the morning of September 14th. That’s over a week away with barely a ripple worth paddling for.
Right now, through the end of August and into early September, it’s a total washout. Tiny swell in the 0.7ft to 2ft range, a lot of cross-onshore wind messing up the surface, and really weak wave energy. On the morning of August 30th, the water temperature is 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like bathwater. For days on end, you’re looking at poor surf conditions with next to no power. Even as we get into the second week of September, the wave energy stays well below 100 (under 100 mark), so there just isn’t anything moving.
The only bright spot, and I mean the *only* one, pops up on Monday, September 14th. Lake Worth Pier breaks out of the funk. That morning sees a clean, offshore wind from the West at 12 mph – proper offshore, glassy conditions. The swell is a meager 4ft from the ENE with a short period of 6 seconds, and combined energy sits at 75 (weak energy). It’s not going to be a day of epic waves, but for once you’ll have clean, small surf with a little bit of shape. The comment even says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is the best we get. Expect it to be small and weak, but at least the wind is good and it won’t be a washing machine.
That’s it. One morning in the entire 16-day window that even gets a score. The rest is flat and messy. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of the 14th is your only chance. Otherwise, leave the board at home.
