The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into the outlook for Lake Worth Pier. It's been a tough stretch and the next couple of weeks are looking mostly flat, so we've gotta keep expectations real.
Gonna be a long dry spell, so don't get your hopes up for a quick fix. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°.
We're looking at about a week and a half of nothing worth paddling out for. From this Saturday (August 29th) right through to the morning of Thursday, September 11th, it's all small and messy. We're talking onshore winds, thunderstorms, and tiny swell with very weak wave energy. The strongest we get in that whole period is 86 on the energy scale on the afternoon of September 9th, but it's just a 1ft windswell with onshore 12 mph winds. It's a bust.
Then, on the morning of Friday, September 11th, we finally get a little window. The wind drops to nothing – glassy conditions. We're looking at a 2ft groundswell from the NE with a period of 10 seconds. Energy is still weak at 66 but it's the cleanest it's been. Don't expect much, but it's the best on offer. Small, clean waves for the longboard or the foamie.
Saturday (September 12th) morning has some clean, cross-offshore wind from the SW, but the swell drops back to 1ft. Honestly, Friday morning is the only standout in the whole 16-day window, and it's a very small one. The rest is a write-off.
This is one of those stretches where you just wait. The forecasts might change, but for now, Friday morning (September 11th) is the one to mark on the calendar for a gentle paddle.
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.
