Most expensive seawall failures begin as something small: a clogged weep hole, a hairline joint, a soft patch in the lawn. On Lake Worth Lagoon, the calendar makes those small problems worse on a predictable schedule. The city says king tides come every September through November, and publishes expected dates each year, including windows from late September into mid-October and again from late October into November in 2026 (City of West Palm Beach). Those overlap hurricane season. A wall checked in late summer goes into that stretch with its drains clear and its joints sealed.
| Timing | Focus |
|---|---|
| Spring | Full inspection before June; clear drains; seal early leaks |
| Late summer | Pre-king-tide check; confirm drains flow |
| September–November | Watch for overtopping and seepage at high tide |
| After named storms | Documented assessment for insurance |
| Winter | Best window for scheduled repairs |
Often, yes. Palm Beach County has been adding living-shoreline features around the lagoon, including elevated planters that flood at high tide at parks such as Currie Park (Palm Beach County ERM). Its materials list West Palm Beach work at 10 parks and 31 right-of-way locations. Only about 283 acres of mangroves remain on the lagoon (Lake Worth Lagoon), so every bit of habitat helps. On private lots, rock at the toe with room for mangroves or oysters can protect your wall and the water at once. See riprap installation in West Palm Beach.
If you're away for the season, ask a neighbor or manager to walk the wall after big storms and king tides. Many lagoon homes sit empty for part of the year, and problems that start while nobody is watching tend to become the most expensive ones. A quick photo sent to us can often tell whether something needs a visit right away or can wait for the next scheduled inspection.
An annual shoreline inspection in West Palm Beach typically costs $350–$800. Comprehensive programs that include minor repairs run $800–$3,500 per year. Condo associations and HOAs with long frontage can bundle sections into one program.
