Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lake Worth Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch with nothing but tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. There’s honestly not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window.
Starting off and running through the end of July, we’ve got a real dry spell. The first bit of surf we see is on Sunday the 12th at Lake Worth Pier, but it’s a letdown. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 87°, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft from the NE with a weak period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 12 – that’s barely a ripple. Add a cross-on wind, and you’ve got poor surf. That pretty much sets the tone.
The whole first week is a write-off. The swell heights barely climb above 2 ft, the periods are short and weak, and the winds are mostly cross-on or onshore. There are a few glassy mornings – like Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th – but with only 1 ft to 1 ft of swell and no energy (energy readings down in the single digits), it’s just a flat, glassy lake. Not worth paddling out for.
We get a few more glassy spells around the 19th and 20th of July, with the swell sneaking up to 3 ft, but it’s coming from the SE with a short 4-second period. The energy is still weak (34 on the 20th morning), and the wind swings back to a choppy cross-on by the afternoon. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those days.
The pattern doesn’t change. From the 21st through to the 27th, it’s the same story: tiny swell, short period, and moderate to fresh cross-on winds that keep the surface lumpy and choppy. The combined energy never gets out of the two-digit range, which is a sure sign of weak, unimpressive surf. Honestly, for an area that can be fairly consistent, this is a frustrating blank run. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, the forecasts are not offering any hope.
Keep your boards waxed and your eyes on the charts, but don't hold your breath for the next two weeks.
Rusty.
