The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at what Lake Worth Pier has to offer for the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest, it’s a lot of waiting around.
The first stretch is a total dud. From Sunday the 13th all the way through to Saturday the 19th, we’ve got nothing but tiny, weak surf and lousy wind. Swell barely hits 0.7 ft for days, with periods around 8-9 seconds, and the combined energy is just a whisper (values between 4 and 14). It’s onshore or cross-shore most of the time, with a few thunderstorms thrown in. Don’t bother paddling out.
Things finally get a pulse on Saturday morning, September 19th. We get a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 10 km/h, and the swell comes up to 2 ft from the NE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is still weak (55), but it’s surfable. Water temp is about average for the time of year. It’ll be waist-high and crumbly, nothing special, but if you’re itching, you can find a few. Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company.
The one to circle on your calendar is Thursday, September 24th. The morning is the call: a light N breeze at 10 km/h, keeping it clean and glassy. Swell is 4 ft from the NE, period around 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a solid moderate (266). That’s the best energy we see in the whole 16 days. This is a proper groundswell, and the NE direction is what this pier likes. Those longer periods mean better-shaped waves and longer gaps between sets, so the paddle out is easier. It’s not huge, but it’ll have some grunt. The afternoon gets choppy with a moderate cross-shore, so get out there early.
After that, it fades again. Saturday, September 26th morning has 3 ft from the NE, period 11 seconds, and a gentle cross-shore, but the energy is still moderate (282). It’s a distant second. By Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th, we’re back under 3 ft and losing quality.
Bottom line: the morning of Thursday, September 24th is your best bet for clean, chest-high waves with some push. The rest of the time, it’s mostly flat or blown out.
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.
