The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Straight up: we’ve got a flat spell ahead. The next week and a half sees tiny, weak, and generally messy surf at Lake Worth Pier. Honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for until late in the run. Most mornings offer clean conditions but with hardly any swell. Afternoons are mostly cross-onshore and choppy. A few glassy windows pop up—like Tuesday afternoon (August 18) with glassy conditions and 1ft from ESE at 10 seconds, and Thursday morning (August 20) glassy again with 0.7ft from E at 8 seconds—but the swell is just too small to make any of it fun. The water temp sits at 87°, which is about average for this time of year.
Then things get interesting near the end of the window. On Saturday morning, August 29, we see a glimmer: 2ft swell from NNE at 8 seconds, with glassy winds out of the W. Combined energy is moderate (86). Still small, but clean. Then Sunday morning, August 30, a 3ft NNE swell at 8 seconds, light cross-shore wind—again, combined energy moderate (93). A couple of mellow, clean sessions for the patient surfer.
If I had to pick one standout, it’s that Saturday morning August 29. Glassy, clean, and that 2ft NNE swell is the most interesting we’ve had in two weeks. Combined energy is 86, which is moderate. Crowds are possible here, so get in early. It’s not huge, but for this stretch, it’s the best bet. After that, Monday September 1 morning shows 3ft ESE at 5 seconds—bigger but short-period and onshore. Not great.
The rest of the 16 days is a long gap of nothing worth chasing. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though—it tends not to stay this quiet for long.
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.
