The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve scanned the charts for the next 16 days, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch for Lake Worth Pier (Lake-Worth-Pier). We’re looking at a long, flat run with nothing worth paddling out for until the very end. The first real chance of any surf doesn’t show up until about 11 days from now, on Thursday the 20th of August.
For the first week and a half, it’s pretty much a write-off. From now through to Wednesday the 19th, we’ve got tiny, weak swell sloshing around – mostly from the southeast with periods around 4 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is mostly below 45 (weak energy), and the wind is a constant cross-onshore or onshore breeze, keeping everything choppy and messy. It’s just not happening.
We finally see a shift on the morning of Thursday the 20th. A short, punchy NE swell fills in, pushing waist-high waves around 4ft. The swell period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s windswell not groundswell. But the big win is the wind. It swings west and goes offshore, blowing at 9 mph. That’s clean. Combined swell energy climbs to 91 (still weak energy). The wave comment calls it “surfable but very ordinary,” and honestly, that’s the pick of the 16 days. That Thursday morning is the only real window. The afternoon stays clean too with a WNW cross-off at 6 mph, though the swell drops a touch to 3ft. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. Break is fairly consistent and a beginner-friendly sandbar, so if you’ve got a longboard or a foamie, that Thursday morning might be worth a look. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have company.
After that, Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd see the swell drop back to nothing, with the wind turning ugly again. The rest of the period through to Monday the 24th fizzles out completely.
Yeah, it’s a flat spell. A good time to wax the quiver and wait.
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.
