The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Lake Worth Pier are a real struggle. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead with nothing but tiny, poor-quality dribble. The forecast is a blank run for the foreseeable future, and honestly, that’s not unusual for this area during a quiet stretch of the calendar. Don’t get too down – it tends not to stay this dead for long, and forecasts can always shift in our favour.
The first recommendation doesn’t come until Saturday, September 20th, which means we’ve got a massive gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling out for. For the entire period, the setup is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds, with a lot of those short, weak windswells that just don’t have the grunt. The combined energy is almost always in the double digits (weak), barely ticking over into the low triple digits on a couple of days, but even then, the quality is flagged as poor.
The one day that teases us is Sunday, September 20th. We’ll see a small bump of NE groundswell pushing 3 ft, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy hits 157 (moderate), which is the best we’ll see by a long shot. But here’s the catch – the wind is onshore from the E to ENE, gusting 12 mph, so it’ll be choppy and messy. The water temperature is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be cold.
Bottom line: there’s nothing here that qualifies as a standout. If you’re desperate, the 20th might offer a few crumbly, shifty lines at the pier, but for actual quality surfing, you’re better off waiting for the next system. This is a waiting game.
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.
