Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lake Worth Pier over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve chewed through the numbers for Lake Worth Pier, and to be honest, it’s a flat spell that’s gonna drag on and on. From Thursday 9 July right through to Friday 24 July, there’s hardly a ripple worth your time. No standout session, no hidden gem – just a long stretch of tiny, messy, cross-onshore slop.
The water’s sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze if you’re out there just for a float.
The whole 16-day run is built on weak, short-period windswell, with combined wave energy stuck in the teens and thirties – real weak stuff. The best of a bad lot might be Wednesday morning 15 July, when a light offshore breeze could clean up the 2ft of NE swell, but even that’s tagged as “poor surf conditions.” The only morning that looks a little different is Thursday 16 July, when the wind goes glassy with a 1ft NE swell – but again, it’s tiny and weak (combined energy of 33). Not enough to get a proper ride.
Most days the wind is cross-onshore, blowing from the ESE and SE, often 15 to 25 km/h, chopping up whatever small bump appears. The swell direction is mostly from the SSE, SE, or ESE, not matching the optimum NE direction that Lake Worth Pier really needs to work well. The period rarely gets above 8 seconds, so there’s no real push or shape.
For kite surfers, this setup might be more interesting than for paddle surfing, especially on those afternoons with a fresh breeze and 2ft to 3ft of lumpy, wind-driven chop – but for us wave riders, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Take it as it is, mate. This area sometimes goes through blanks like this, and forecasts can change. But right now, leave the board in the car and go find something else to do.
Rusty.

Information about the Lake Worth Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lake Worth Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lake Worth Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lake Worth Pier surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lake Worth Pier) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Lake Worth Pier is 2 km (1 miles) from Lake Worth. If you plan a vacation in South Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lake Worth. Lake Worth has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
