The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty flat and quiet around here. Don't get your hopes up too high.
We're looking at a long stretch of very small, weak energy. The swell is basically non-existent for the first week, with a combined energy hanging around the 9 to 36 mark – that's barely a ripple. You're looking at knee-high slop at best, if that. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which just chops up what little bump there is. It's a write-off for paddling.
There is a bit of a tease later on. Around the 30th of August, the swell bumps up to maybe 3 feet, but it's still a short-period, wind-affected windswell from ESE, and the wind is right on it. It's gonna be a messy, blown-out mess. The combined energy gets up to 65 on the 30th morning, which is still just moderate, but with onshore wind, it's not going to be clean.
The only real flicker of a chance comes on the morning of September 5th. We've got a small 3-foot SE swell with a light offshore wind from the West. That offshore wind is the key. It'll clean up the surface, making it look a bit better than the rest of the garbage. Even then, the energy is weak (56), the period is short (5 seconds), so it's just a tiny, weak wave. It's surfable, but "ordinary conditions" is about right. The crowds might be around at Lake Worth Pier, but honestly, for this tiny stuff, it won't be packed.
The water temp is a warm 87°F right now, which is about normal for this time of year. Nothing to write home about.
So, there's no standout. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of September 5th at Lake Worth Pier. It's not a trip-worthy call, but if you're desperate for a paddle and a few ankle-biters, that's your window. After that, it drops back into nothing.
Rusty.
