The Lowdown
Well, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Lake Worth Pier over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The data ain’t lyin’, and we’re lookin’ at a real flat spell for a while.
Right off the bat, from Friday the 4th all the way through the end of the first week, there’s barely a ripple. We’re talkin’ a long gap of no surf worth paddlin’ for. The first hint of any real energy doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 9th, but even then, it’s a mess. That morning we see a small pulse of swell from the NE at 3 ft, with a period of 9 seconds – that’s a short-period windswell. The combined energy climbs to 125 (moderate), but the wind is bang onshore from the ESE at 6 mph, so it’s gonna be a bumpy, lumpy mess. Not a good time.
The same story runs through that Wednesday and into Thursday the 10th. The swell drops back to 2 ft and 2 ft, with the wind still onshore. The energy numbers fall off a cliff, from 122 down to 64 and then 47. It’s a no-go zone.
As we head into the second week, the pattern doesn’t shift much. Saturday the 12th morning has a moment – a tiny 0.7 ft lump from the ESE with a clean light offshore from the WSW at 3 mph. But the swell is so small, it’s barely a knee-high dribble. Not worth the drive.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is towards the very end of the outlook. Saturday the 19th morning sees a little bump from the SE at 3 ft, but the period is a short 4 seconds. The wind is cross-onshore from the NE at 9 mph, and the energy is a weak 31. It’s a poor surf setup, but it’s the best we’ve got in this whole 16-day window. It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s the only time the numbers even hint at a wave you can ride. Keep your expectations on the floor, and you might not be too disappointed.
For what it’s worth, the water temp is sittin’ at 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s about the only thing that’s above average.
Honestly, this is a classic case of a blank run for this area. It’s not unusual for it to go quiet for a stretch like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be checkin’ the wind charts for kites rather than waxin’ up the stick.
Rusty.
