The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, honest look at what’s coming up for Lake Worth Pier over the next couple of weeks.
Right now we’re staring down a pretty bleak stretch of surf. The data shows nothing but poor conditions for the entire 16-day outlook. We’ve got a long, dry run of tiny, junky waves on the menu, with the first few days offering absolutely nothing to get excited about. From this Thursday (13 August) right through to the end of the month, it’s a flat spell with no real standouts.
The first recommendation doesn’t show up until the very end of the period, and even then, it’s marginal. On Wednesday morning, 26 August, we might see a tiny pulse of swell bump up to about 2ft from the ESE, with a short period around 5 seconds. The combined wave energy is still very weak (37). Winds will be light cross-onshore from the ESE at just 3 mph, which keeps the surface fairly clean with small wind ripples. But honestly, it’s hardly worth paddling out for. This spot is a beach/pier setup, and with that short period, the waves will be weak and crumbly. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The rest of the week after that? Same story. A few more mornings with 2ft to 2.3ft swell from the ESE or SE, but always with cross-onshore or onshore breezes. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but when the surf is this poor, it’s unlikely many will bother. The swell direction is from the ESE, which isn’t ideal for this break – it prefers NE swell for better shape. The light winds on a couple of mornings (like 26 August and 22 August) are a positive, but the swell is just too small and weak to make anything of it.
Forget about any decent size – there’s nothing over 5ft in the whole window. This is beginner-level stuff at best, and even then, it’s not fun. The combined energy values are consistently under 100, mostly sitting in the teens and thirties – that’s about as weak as it gets.
On the 25 August, there’s a morning with light ENE winds and 2.3ft ESE swell, but the onshore wind and short period make it a write-off. The period on the 18th and 19th does bump up to 12 seconds, which could bring a bit more push, but the swell height is barely 1ft – you’d be floating more than surfing.
Bottom line: there is no standout session here. The entire 16-day forecast is a bust for Lake Worth Pier. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest window might be the morning of Wednesday, 26 August, with the lightest winds and a tiny bit of shape. But don’t expect much. For kite surfers, the stronger afternoon breezes (ESE 12 mph) later in the month might offer more fun than a surfboard will.

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.
