The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks down at Lake Worth Pier.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, it’s frustratingly flat. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing but small, weak, and generally messy conditions. The first real whisper of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday, September 4th. That’s a solid 10-day gap of just poor surf and no real recommendations. It’s one of those blank runs that, while tough, isn't unheard of for this area.
Lake Worth Pier (beach/pier) – The first day that offers a glimmer of hope is Friday, September 4th. The morning will see a tiny 1ft swell rolling in from the ENE with a period of 12 seconds. Now, the height is small, but that longer period is a groundswell signal, which usually means a bit more push and shape. The real kicker here is the wind. We’ve got a light, cross-offshore breeze from the SW, promising clean faces. The combined wave energy is weak at 65, but for small waves, that’s enough to get a longboard out. This is a window for the patient surfer to get a few clean, small ones. The water temp is sitting around 87°, which is about average for this time of year, so the board shorts are fine.
This clean, small-swell pattern looks like the best we’re going to get. The morning of Saturday, September 5th continues with similar 1ft, 12-second ENE swell, but by the afternoon the wind swings more offshore from the W, making it even cleaner. This is the true standout window. It’s not big, but clean, small surf on a longboard is all we’ve got on the table. The entire period after that drops back into poor, onshore chop with no real quality.
So, don’t get your hopes up for any size. This is a week and a half of waiting for a couple of clean, knee-high days. If you’ve got a log, pencil in the morning of Friday, September 4th through the afternoon of Saturday, September 5th.
Stay patient,
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.
