The Lowdown
Alright, it's Rusty. Let's talk about what's cookin' for the next couple weeks.
Right up front, I gotta be honest with you – it's flat as a pancake. We're lookin' at a full 16-day window, but for the first week and a half, there's just nothin' worth paddlin' out for. From July 17th right through to July 25th, the waves are tiny, the wind is messy, and the conditions are just plain poor. You're lookin' at knee-high slop, mostly cross-shore or onshore breezes, and the wave energy is pathetic. For example, that first morning on Friday the 17th, we've got a tiny 1ft swell from the NE at 6 seconds, with a combined energy of only 7 – that's barely a ripple. It's a dead zone for a proper surf.
Things start to perk up a little towards the end of the month. By Tuesday the 28th of July in the afternoon, there's a whisper of somethin' more. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SE, period's a short 5 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to 67. It's still messy, but it's a sign of life. Then Wednesday the 29th looks a bit better. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the SSE, with energy hittin' 75. Best of all, by Wednesday afternoon, the wind actually swings offshore from the ESE, which is a huge positive. It's only a 2ft swell from the SE, but a clean offshore wind on a beach/pier setup like Lake Worth Pier will make those small waves feel a whole lot more fun. It's not a standout by any stretch – the crowd is gonna be there at times, and it's a fairly consistent spot, so it's never totally empty. But after a long dry spell, a clean, tiny wave is better than nothin'.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no shocks there.
Honestly, if you're desperate for a paddle, that Wednesday afternoon on the 29th is your best bet. But if you can hold out, this is a classic case where the forecast might change. For a spot that's fairly consistent, a blank run like this can turn around quick. For now, though, leave the board in the car and go do somethin' else.

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.
