The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the forecast for Lake Worth Pier. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. The first real recommendation doesn't come until Thursday, the 20th of August, and even then, it's nothing to write home about. We’re looking at a solid 12-day gap of poor conditions before we get a sniff of anything surfable.
The water temp is sitting around 86°, which is pretty much on the money for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
Alright, let’s get into it. The first standout, and really the only one of the whole period, happens on Thursday morning, the 20th of August. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell trickling in from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds. The combined wave energy is very weak, only 70 (weak energy). Honestly, the size is pathetic, but the wind is glassy. That’s a huge positive. The pier will be clean, and if you’re desperate for a board under your feet, it’s the best you’ll get. For a beginner, that 1ft is perfectly safe, but if you’re looking for anything with a bit of push, you’ll be disappointed. The break is fairly consistent, so you'll get a few, but expect it to be very small and weak.
Then, we have another chance on Sunday morning, the 23rd of August. The swell is still tiny at 2ft from the NE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is still very weak, at 81 (weak energy). The key here is the wind is glassy again, and the swell direction is from the NE, which is the optimum direction for this spot. It’s the best swell direction of the whole forecast, but the size is still just dribble. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Crowds are possible here, as it’s a popular spot, but with this tiny surf, most folks will probably stay home.
As for the rest of the run, it’s all cross-onshore winds and tiny, short-period windswell. The period dips as low as 4 seconds, which is just chop. It’s not worth paddling out for. There’s a lot of onshore wind, making it choppy and messy across the board. Honestly, for the 16-day window, there’s not a single standout day that’ll get your heart racing. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer with the persistent onshore breeze.
So, keep your expectations low, and if you’re really jonesing, the glassy mornings on the 20th and 23rd are your only real shots.
Rusty.
