The Lowdown
Alright, let's break it down for the Lake Worth Pier area. Rusty here, and I'm going to tell you straight – it's looking grim for a long stretch.
We're starting off with a whole lot of nothing. For over a week, the surf is flat, tiny, and weak. The waves are small, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore almost the whole time. The combined swell energy is pitiful, barely getting out of double digits (low energy) for days. There's just no reason to paddle out. The first real chance of a wave doesn't show up until late in the second week.
Now, here’s the one window that matters. On September 22nd (Tuesday), we see a jump to 6ft swell from the NE, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the SE at 15 mph, so it's going to be messy and choppy. The energy jumps up (419 – moderate), but it's not clean.
The day to actually get excited about is September 24th (Thursday morning). That's the peak. We've got a solid 8ft swell coming from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds. That's not a long-period groundswell, so don't expect those smooth, lined-up sets – it'll be a bit more crumbly and sectiony. 8ft is big – this is for the experienced crew only; beginners need to stay on the beach. The combined energy is up at 790, which is strong. And the good news? The wind is light, from the SSE at just 6 mph, and it's a cross-shore breeze. That means the surface will be pretty clean, not glassy but manageable.
Lake Worth Pier (Florida) is a spot that can get "sometimes" crowded, and with a swell this size, you can bet there will be a pack. It's a beach/pier setup, so with a NE swell, it should be fairly exposed and working. Just remember the forecast calls it marginal on Thursday, so check the tide.
Water temp is about average for this time of year.
So, to sum it up: suffer through a flat, dead week. Then get a couple days of building, choppy swell, and finally, that Thursday the 24th is your one best shot. It's not a classic, but it's the only show in town you'd even consider.

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.
