The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I've got to be straight with you—this is a tough one. The forecast for Lake Worth Pier is looking pretty flat for the entire 16-day window. We're staring down the barrel of a long stretch with nothing doing. The first time we see any kind of swell is Wednesday morning, September 9th, with a tiny 3ft wave from the NNE, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, making it a choppy mess. The water is a warm 87°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
The combined swell energy barely gets into the triple digits at 116 on Wednesday morning, but it's short-lived. By that afternoon, it's already dropping. The rest of the days are just a parade of tiny, weak waves ranging from 0.3ft to 2ft, with periods all over the place, mostly under 10 seconds. The wind is constantly cross-onshore or onshore from the SE or E, which just kills any chance of clean surf. There are a couple of mornings like Tuesday September 8th and Saturday September 19th where it goes glassy, but the swell is so small—0.7ft and 1.0ft respectively—that it's not worth getting wet for.
The pick of the litter, and I'm using that term loosely, is Wednesday morning September 9th. That 3ft NNE swell with a period of 8 seconds is the biggest we'll see, and the combined energy at 116 is the highest of the whole run. But with the cross-onshore wind, it's going to be bumpy. For a beginner, the swell is small enough, but the quality just isn't there. Everything else is a flat, windy write-off.
There's a little bump in the road on Tuesday September 22nd with a 2ft NNE swell and 19 mph winds, but that's just a windy, choppy mess. This setup is so poor that it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
It's a bummer, but sometimes the ocean just goes to sleep. Don't lose hope; forecasts can always change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
