The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Lake Worth Pier is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch ahead with nothing really worth paddling out for. The first surfable day? There isn't one in this 16-day window. The data shows a gap from now until the end of the forecast period with no good surf on offer. The water temperature's sitting at 86.0°F, which is about 1.4°F above normal for this time of year – a touch warmer than average, but nothing crazy.
For the morning of July 20th, we've got a weak 3 ft swell from the SSE with a short period of 5 seconds and combined energy of just 41 (weak). The wind is a cross-shore at 15 mph, making it a messy, poor surf condition. The rest of that day and every day following is much the same story: tiny, weak swell, poor wind direction, and lumpy, choppy conditions. On July 26th and 27th, we get a brief moment of clean conditions with light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft. There's a moment on July 31st with glassy conditions, but again, only 1 ft of swell. Even the few days with a little more energy, like August 4th with a 3 ft SSE swell, are still plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds and poor surf quality.
The bottom line is that for a beginner-friendly break like Lake Worth Pier, this is a pretty typical blank run for the area. Don't get your hopes up. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about. Keep an eye on the horizon, but leave your board in the car.

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.
