The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our local stretch.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking flat as a pancake. There’s not a single recommendation to get excited about. The good news is that Lake Worth Pier (Lake-Worth-Pier) is a fairly consistent spot, so this kind of dead run isn't the norm—forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this poor for long.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 87°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
We kick off on Tuesday the 18th of August with tiny 0.7ft waves from the ESE and a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is weak (17). Wednesday and Thursday, the 19th and 20th, don't get any better—still the same ankle-snappers. We see some glassy conditions early Thursday morning with a light W breeze, but the swell is just too small to bother. Through the rest of the week and into the following week, the pattern is grim: wave heights barely nudge past 1ft, with choppy cross-onshore winds messing up the surface on most afternoons.
Even when we roll into the second week, around the 26th of August, the period jumps to 16 seconds, giving a combined energy of 35. That’s a long-period groundswell, but with a height of only 0.7ft it’s only enough to tickle the pier pilings. The wind stays cross-onshore, so it’s not clean.
Through the end of August and into the 1st of September, it’s the same story: 1ft to 1ft of swell, weak energy, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes. There’s just no power to work with.
So, the long and short of it is: leave the board in the car and maybe dust off the fishing rod. There’s no standout session in this window.
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.
