The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for the Vero Beach Pier area. It’s a bleak stretch, to be honest. We’re looking at a whole lot of flat, weak conditions for the first week and beyond. The swell energy is practically non-existent, with readings like 16, 5, 10 – tiny, weak energy (16, 5, 10). There’s a big gap of days where the surf just isn’t worth the paddle.
The one and only window that’s even worth mentioning is the morning of Sunday, July 26th. We’ll get a small pulse of east swell, around 2ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind will be offshore from the WSW at 6 mph, leaving the surface clean. The combined energy maxes out at 69 – still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. Water temp is about 84° for the first break mentioned, which is pretty average for the season.
Beyond that, it’s a desert. Expect tiny, wind-affected waves with periods as short as 3 seconds. The wind tends to get cross or cross-on in the afternoons, chopping things up. This whole setup looks more like a kiteboarding window than a surf window, especially on days like Saturday, July 18th afternoon, when the wind is blowing a solid 12 mph.
If you’re really jonesing, the glassy mornings will give you the cleanest water, but there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a waiting game.

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.
