The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be real – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet. We've got a 16-day window, but honestly, there's nothing to get excited about. The whole period is a long stretch of poor surf conditions with no real standouts. The first recommendation doesn't come until Friday, August 21st, but even then, it's a no-go.
Friday, August 21st kicks off with a tiny 0.6ft swell from the ENE at 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (14). The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze, but that swell is just too small to do anything with. The afternoon gets worse with a cross-onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. Water temp is sitting at 87°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a little warm.
Saturday, August 22nd and Sunday, August 23rd are more of the same. The swell stays at 0.6ft, period is short. Saturday morning is glassy, which is nice to look at, but there's no energy to push a wave. The combined energy drops to 9. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
Monday, August 24th through Thursday, August 27th sees the swell try to bump up to 1ft and 2ft, but the period is a shocking 4 seconds. That's just wind chop. The combined energy stays in the low double digits (9 to 21). Winds are mostly onshore from the ESE or E, so it's choppy and messy. Not worth a paddle.
Friday, August 28th has a hint of something with a 0.6ft swell at 12 seconds and combined energy of 38. That's a very long period groundswell, but it's just too small to break properly at a beach/pier setup like Lake Worth Pier. It might look like a glassy lake, but it won't wrap in.
Saturday, August 29th morning is glassy again with a 0.6ft, 11-second swell and energy of 37. Still, it's a non-event. The afternoon brings a cross-onshore wind and risk of storms.
From Sunday, August 30th all the way through to Saturday, September 5th, the pattern holds. The swell never gets above 3ft, the period is short (3-8 seconds), and the winds are predominantly onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy peaks at a weak 44 on September 1st. There are a few glassy mornings on September 3rd and 4th, but it's dead flat with 0.6ft swells.
The bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The breaks are fairly consistent in their lack of surf. For a beach/pier setup like Lake Worth Pier, this is a normal blank run – the area is exposed to the wind, and without a proper swell, you're just looking at flat water. If you're desperate for a paddle, maybe try a longboard, but don't expect a wave. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind picks up.

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.
