The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s coming. The forecast runs from now through the 16-day window, and I’ve got to be straight with you—Lake Worth Pier (Lake-Worth-Pier) is looking pretty flat. There’s a long gap of nothing usable, with the first few days serving up tiny 0.6ft slop, poor surf, and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore winds mixed with thunderstorm threats. It’s not until the tail end of the first week and into the second that we see a little bump, but it’s nothing to write home about.
The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is about 2° above the long-term average for this time of year—nothing crazy, just a touch warmer than usual, so you’ll be fine in boardshorts or a spring suit.
For the best of a bad bunch, look to the morning of Saturday, August 29. The winds go glassy from the SSE, and the swell climbs to 1ft from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 36, so it’s not going to have any punch, but the glassy conditions will give you clean little waves. That’s your best chance if you’re itching to get wet. The Friday morning before that, August 28, has a cross-off wind from the SSW with a 1ft ESE swell at 12 seconds and energy at 29, but the glass on Saturday is cleaner.
Early on September 2, Wednesday morning, we get glassy conditions again with a 2ft NE swell at 6 seconds. The energy is still weak at 43, and the short period means it’ll be a bit disorganized, but it’s clean. For a beach break, that short period might keep it from being too fat, but don’t expect much.
Overall, the whole 16 days is a poor run. The swell rarely breaks with any consistency, and the energy figures are all in the double digits, well under 100, meaning the wave energy is weak. The strongest day is September 1 with 2ft NNE swell and energy at 45, but it’s onshore wind and messy. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoons with moderate cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions might be more interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a washout. The forecasts can always change, but right now, this is a tough stretch.
