The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for the Lake Worth Pier area.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of flat, poor conditions all the way through late August and into early September. The first week and a half are basically a write-off. There's a big gap with no real surf to speak of. The water is sitting at a warm 87°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's small comfort when there's nothing to ride.
From Sunday the 23rd right through to the end of the month, we're looking at tiny, wind-affected slop. Swell heights are mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft with short periods, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making everything a choppy mess. The combined energy is a very weak 4 to 50 (10-50 range), confirming there's just no power in the water. For a beginner, even the little 1ft days are going to be messy and tough to catch anything clean.
Now, we do see a little bump in energy as we move into the first week of September, but it's still not good. On Saturday the 6th and Sunday the 7th, the swell picks up a touch, hitting 2ft to 4ft from the NNE/NE. The combined energy climbs to 85 and even 110 (moderate energy) on the afternoon of the 6th, but the period is a short 7-8 seconds, so it's going to be weak and lumpy. The wind stays cross-onshore, so it's still not clean. Because of the poor quality and onshore wind, this setup at the beach/pier might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than for a proper paddle session.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in this entire 16-day window. The forecast is just a long, flat, and bumpy outlook. Keep your gear dry and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
