The Lowdown
Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on the surf for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty grim outlook for us right now. The only spot we have info on is Vero Beach Pier, and it’s struggling. Water temp is about 85°, which is pretty normal for the time of year.
From now through the end of August and into early September, it’s just flat. We're looking at wave heights barely topping 0.7 ft with weak energy, and the winds are mostly cross or onshore, making a mess of things. There's a long stretch with no real surf on offer from now until the start of September.
Now, a few mornings around the 3rd and 4th of September start to look a little different. On Thursday, September 3rd, the morning is looking glassy calm with a weak 2 ft easterly swell. The period is 11 seconds, so it's got a little shape, but the energy is still weak. It's surfable, but just barely. Then on Friday, September 4th morning, we get a light offshore breeze from the WSW with a 2 ft easterly swell. That offshore wind will clean it up nicely, but it's tiny.
If I had to pick the best option, it would be Saturday, September 5th morning. We've got a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW and a 2 ft easterly swell (10 second period). Those conditions will make for the cleanest waves of the whole window, but don't expect any push. It's a long wait for a tiny bump.
There's also a quick look at Sunday, September 6th morning - glassy conditions with a 2 ft easterly swell. Clean but tiny.
The bottom line: there’s nothing here for anyone but a longboarder looking for a glide on a knee-high day. For the rest of the 16-day window, it's a write-off. That's the reality for the next couple of weeks.
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.
