Surf: General: These sandbars are a good option if Lake Worth isn't worth the hassle. They're fun at mid-tide and on east-southeast windswells. Look for short, fast rights and lefts breaking off the two buoys. Constant paddling is usually required to stay in position. The surf is far from epic, but crowds never present a problem.

Be careful not to get your leash tangled in the buoy lines and watch out for sheet-white tourists in the impact zone. Man-of-war are often present during windswells, and sea lice are vicious in the late spring and early summer. If you attempt to park in the hotel parking lot, then tow trucks become the main hazard. It's best to park down at Kruesler Park north of the Lake Worth Pier and walk north a quarter of a mile. Tides: Mid-tide, slightly better on the flood Size: Waist-head Wind: WNW Swell: NE-NNE but can be fun during SE windswell Bottom: Sand Paddling: Easy on small days, tough on larger swells.

Local Vibe: Beware of tourists. Lots of them. Environment: Nice and clean. Hazards: Watch for fishermen; they often fly surface baits over the outside reef for spinner and black tip sharks.
