The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty gutless for Lake Worth Pier. We’re in for a long, flat spell, so don’t be holding your breath for anything worth waxing up for.
Right through the whole period, wave heights are tiny, mostly hanging around the 0.3 ft to 2 ft mark. The combined swell energy is weak too, never cracking into triple digits (11 is the highest we see for a bit, then a measly 50 at best). That’s barely enough to keep a ripple alive. Most of the time you’ll be looking at short-period, choppy junk from the southeast, with cross-onshore winds messing it up even more. It’s pretty much a kite surfer’s playground, not a paddle surfer’s.
There’s a tiny glimmer early on Sunday the 17th morning when a glassy, slight air wind from the north-northeast takes over – but even then, the swell is only 0.7 ft. It might look nice on the surface, but there’s no push. On Wednesday the 23rd, we see the strongest energy of the whole window (50), with a 2 ft swell from the north-northeast and a short 7-second period, but the onshore wind kills any quality.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. The entire 16-day run is one big gap with no recommended surf. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area when the conditions line up this way. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a solid no-go. Hang loose and wait for the next pulse.
Rusty.

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.
