Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lake Worth Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here from the Lake Worth Pier area. Let's call it like it is—the next 16 days are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing really happening, so grab a coffee and maybe a longboard with a big fin, because we’re in for a wait.
Right now, we’re staring at a whole lot of nothing. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°F with a positive anomaly of 2°F, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is nice for a paddle, but that’s about the only highlight.
From Saturday the 11th all the way through to Sunday the 26th of July, there’s just nothing to get excited about. Swell heights are tiny, mostly hanging around 0.7ft to 3ft. The wind is mostly cross-on, chopping things up, and the combined swell energy is weak—we’re talking values between 3 and 38. That’s not surf, that’s wind chop. The period is short too, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so no real push behind it.
Friday morning the 17th and Saturday morning the 18th did look glassy, with that light offshore or glassy conditions, but the swell was so small (0.7ft to 1.0ft) it’s barely a ripple. Not worth paddling out for.
A few mornings later in the week, like Monday the 20th, Tuesday the 21st, and Wednesday the 22nd, we get some clean cross-off winds, but again, the swell is tiny—2ft to 2ft from the south or southeast. It’s clean, but it’s barely surfable. For a beginner on a foamie, maybe a fun little push, but nothing for anyone looking for a real wave.
Honestly, the best of a bad lot is probably the glassy windows on the 17th and 18th, but with such small swell, it’s a “maybe wet your hair” kind of day. If you’re desperate, the Lake Worth Pier is a beach/pier setup, and it’s fairly exposed, but there’s just no energy.
This is a classic summer flat spell for this area. It’s normal for it to go quiet for a stretch. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
