The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat, I’ll tell you straight. We’re looking at a pretty lean run here for Lake Worth Pier. The whole 16-day window is a total write-off for any decent surf. Not a single moment where the stars align. From now right through to August 3rd, you’re staring down a long stretch of tiny, weak, and chopped-up conditions. There’s a big gap of quiet with nothing worth paddling out for.
Let’s start at the beginning. Sunday, July 19th, we’ve got a combined energy of a weak 29, with a tiny 2 ft SE swell, but it’s a short-period 4 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-on from the SSE at 12 mph. It’s a fizzer. Monday is the same story: 2 ft to 3 ft, even shorter period, and the wind stays cross-onshore. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. The whole first week is just a parade of small, weak swell (energy barely cracking 40) and cross-onshore breezes. It’s all “poor surf conditions” – a real heartbreaker.
We do get a couple of mornings where the wind swings clean, like Sunday, July 26th, with a light cross-offshore from the SW at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft with a period of 8 seconds and energy of just 20. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Then on Wednesday, July 30th, we get a proper offshore wind from the W at 9 mph, but again, the swell is only 1 ft and 7 seconds. It’s a lake out there. The first week of August is more of the same – tiny and weak.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle, but even then, the swell is barely there. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem, just a long, flat wait. The forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d leave the boards at home.

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.

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.
