Lake Worth Pier Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Lake Worth Pier. The surf is going to be small and the wind is mostly going to be messing it up, so we’re not talking about any epic sessions. That said, there are a couple of tiny windows where things might clean up a bit, but you’ll be working with small waves.

We start off this Friday, the 7th of August, with the wind howling out of the ESE at 12 mph, and that’s coming straight onshore. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is pretty low at 143, so it’s just a messy, choppy mess. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

Saturday the 8th is more of the same, with a bit of a drop in size. The morning brings a 2 ft swell from the NE, but that cross-onshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph is still going to be chopping it up. The energy is down to 104. It’s a write-off.

Sunday the 9th through Thursday the 13th is a real flat spell. The swell drops to nothing, mostly under 2 ft, and the period is rubbish. The energy readings are all in the single digits or low teens. The wind is still cross-onshore or onshore, so there’s just nothing to get excited about. You’d be better off doing something else for nearly a week.

Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th see a slight bump in the swell, up to 3 ft from the SE. The period is still short at 5 seconds, and the energy is only 42. That wind is still a cross-onshore SE breeze at 12 mph, so it’s still going to be choppy and uninviting.

Now, if you’re looking for the best chance of anything remotely rideable, it’s going to be on the morning of Thursday the 20th of August. It’s still small, with a 1 ft swell from the NE, but the wind goes glassy. That’s right, glassy. The wind is out of the SSW at a light 3 mph. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it’s a short, weak little wave with energy of 24. It’s not going to be a classic, but if you’re desperate for a paddle and want the cleanest surface of the whole outlook, this is your window. Don’t expect much push, but it’ll be the prettiest flat water you’ll see.

The rest of the run into the 22nd of August is just more of the same small, onshore wind slop. There’s no standout swell on the horizon. For this spot, it’s a pretty normal blank run for this time of year.

Rusty.
