The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of barely-there surf and pretty ordinary conditions across the board. The first spot worth talking about isn’t showing up until Tuesday, July 28th.
Naples Pier – Yeah, it’s the only game in town, but it’s a quiet one. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°, so that’s a small comfort. For the first week, from Tuesday the 28th through the weekend, we’re seeing tiny, weak swells – nothing over 2 ft, mostly from the west or southwest, and the period is a pathetic 3 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not real surf. The combined energy is in the weak range, bouncing between 3 and 11 (on the low end of the scale). Winds are mostly onshore, so it’s messy and blown out. Thursday morning the 30th, the swell is a paltry 1 ft from the WSW, with a 12 mph onshore breeze – don’t even bother. Friday the 31st offers a slight bump to a 1.0 ft swell from the WNW with a 5-second period, but the wind flips cross-onshore in the afternoon, making it choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
The following week doesn’t get much better. From Monday, August 3rd, through to Wednesday, August 12th, we’ve got several days with zero swell energy, just flat spells. The water might be glassy on the morning of Thursday, August 6th, with a calm wind, but there’s nothing to ride. The conditions are clean on a few of those mornings, like August 5th, 6th, and 7th, but with no waves, it’s just a flat ocean. The best we can hope for is a tiny 0.7 ft bump from the south on Monday, August 10th, with glassy conditions in the morning, but again, it’s ankle-biters with almost no energy. The combined energy sits at just 1 for that window.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day outlook, there’s nothing that stands out as a true option. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the wind is rarely in our favor. This is a classic summer lull for this area. If you’ve got a kite, the beach/pier setup might be more interesting than trying to paddle out on these tiny, wind-affected waves, but for a surfer, it’s a waiting game.
Stay hopeful, things can change, but for now, we’re in a dry spell.

Information about the Naples Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Naples Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Naples Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Naples Pier surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Naples Pier) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Naples Pier may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Naples Pier is 8 km (5 miles) from Naples. If you plan a vacation in Gulf Coast, Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Naples. Naples has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
