Boynton Inlet (South Lake Worth Inlet) features an outside sandbar break that produces long, hollow lefts about a quarter-mile offshore when NE swell hits at low tide. The north side of the inlet has lots of clean, empty peaks. The inlet provides wave-focusing similar to other South Florida inlets but sees far fewer surfers. A good option for those willing to paddle for uncrowded waves.
