High Surf at Lake Worth Beach

Lake Worth Beach Pier is closed

The coast from Boca Raton to Sebastian is under a high surf advisory due to hurricanes Imelda and Humberto in the Atlantic, bringing waves as high as 10 feet along South Florida's coast.

While the surfers are embracing the waves, the city is ensuring that safety is its top priority.

"For safety reasons, currently the pier is closed," said Stuart Sword, the director of leisure services in Lake Worth Beach.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the Pier has been closed due to the high waves breaking on the far end.
