Lake Worth Pier is one of South Florida's most consistent spots — the daily driver for most Palm Beach County surfers. When sandbars are intact, there's an outside break, a reform spot at the end of the pier near the seawall, and a fast barrel on the south side. Handles windswells and groundswells equally and holds sizes from 3-15 feet.
