The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked this whole 16-day window over and I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty flat. Lake Worth Pier is the only break in the mix, and honestly, there’s just no push to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and onshore junk, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
The water temp is sitting at 86°F – that’s about 1°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so pretty normal for August. You’ll be sweating in the lineup, if you can even find a wave.
Let’s run through it. Starting Wednesday the 12th right through the end of the window on Thursday the 27th, it’s pretty much all a bust. We’ve got swell heights barely cracking 3 ft, and most days it’s a pathetic 0.7 ft to 2 ft. The swell energy is weak – the best we see is a combined energy of 37 (weak) on Wednesday the 26th morning, and even that’s coming from the NE with a short 7-second period. That’s not going to do anything for you.
Wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and there’s a few glassy mornings – Monday the 17th morning is glassy, and Tuesday the 18th morning is glassy too – but with only 0.7 ft of swell and an ESE direction, it’s just flat and clean. There’s nothing to ride.
We do see a tiny bump Saturday the 15th with 3 ft from the SE, but the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th bring a little more direction shift, but it’s still small and onshore.
The bottom line: there are no good surf options in the 16-day window. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. Lake Worth Pier is a fairly consistent spot, so it’s a bit of a downer, but these blank runs happen. Keep an eye on it – forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long stretch of nothing.

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.
