Table - best surf conditions forecast for Vero Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let me tell ya, this stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a real dry spell for the next couple of weeks, with barely anything to get your fins wet. The first decent chance doesn’t come until later in the period, and even then it’s a struggle.
The entire 16-day window is a write-off for proper surf. From Sunday 12 July through to Thursday 24 July, every session is marked as poor. Swell heights barely touch 2 ft, with periods mostly around 7 to 8 seconds – that’s short, weak windswell. The combined energy is all in the double digits, like 13, 40, 12, 24 – nothing over 100, so no power at all. The only real highlight, if you can call it that, is Wednesday morning 15 July at Vero Beach Pier. The wind goes glassy, 0 mph, and we get a tiny 1 ft from the NE at 7 seconds. The energy is only 22, but the glassy conditions mean the surface will be clean. It’s a beach/pier spot, so short period and small swell aren’t ideal, but at least you won’t be battling chop. That’s the best on offer, but it’s strictly for beginners – nothing over 5 ft.
A few mornings have offshore winds, like Thursday 16 July morning (WSW 3 mph, glassy, 0.7 ft), Friday 17 July morning (WNW 3 mph, clean, 0.7 ft), and Saturday 18 July morning (WSW 9 mph, offshore, 0.7 ft). The energy’s in the single digits or low teens (10, 10, 5). The swell is so small it’s almost flat – knee-high if you’re lucky. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
From Tuesday 22 July onward, it’s still poor, with the same 0.7 ft to 2 ft range. Saturday 25 July morning has a risk of thunderstorms and a tiny 2 ft from the SE at 4 seconds – messy, short-period windswell. The energy is 15, still weak. Honestly, the whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the strong onshore and cross-shore afternoon winds, like the SE 16 mph on Friday 24 July afternoon.
So, bottom line: we’ve got a long gap of no real surf for over a week, then just a few fleeting moments of clean but tiny waves. The only thing worth paddling out for is Wednesday morning 15 July, when the glassy wind and small clean lines might give you a couple of fun ones. Otherwise, keep your board in the car and wait for the next forecast.
Rusty.

Information about the Vero Beach Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Vero Beach Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Vero Beach Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Vero Beach 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 (Vero Beach 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 Vero Beach 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.
