The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've got to be straight with you—this is a tough one. We're looking at a full 16-day stretch for Lake Worth Pier, and honestly, there's not a single session that's worth paddling out for. The whole run is a write-off for decent surf.
Right from the start on Tuesday, 4th August, we're dealing with tiny 0.7 ft swell from the ESE at a weak 8 seconds, and onshore winds are making it choppy and messy. The combined swell energy is a pathetic 13. That's about as flat and unappealing as it gets. Water temps are sitting at 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, with an anomaly of +0.9°.
The pattern just doesn't improve. Through Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, right into the weekend and beyond, we're stuck with mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds from the ESE, SE, or E, and swell heights barely scraping 3 ft at best. The swell energy peaks at a weak 87 on Friday afternoon, but that's still feeble and accompanied by a 7-second period and onshore breeze. The water temperature data runs out after the first entry, but you can bet it's staying warm.
We get a few slight glimmers on Monday, 17th August and Tuesday, 18th August, with light cross-offshore winds from the SSW and SW, which clean things up a bit. But the swell is still tiny—2 ft to 2 ft from the SE or S with short periods around 4 seconds and combined energy in the low 20s to low 30s. It's not surfable, just clean and flat. Even the best-looking conditions on the 17th and 18th are a "clean" water surface but with nothing to ride.
So, there it is. Not a single recommendation in the whole 16-day window. This is a blank run, and it's not unusual for the area when the wind and swell just don't line up. For the paddle surfers, you might as well take a break. For the kite crowd, the consistent onshore wind and extremely small, lumpy waves might offer some marginal interest, but it's nothing to get excited about.
Keep an eye on the charts—it can't stay this flat forever. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
