The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaking out for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no good surf on offer. The combined energy of the swells is weak, barely cracking double digits most days, and the height just isn’t there. The first shot at anything rideable is Tuesday the 8th, but it’s a no-go from the start. We’ve got a gap of poor conditions that really runs through the entire 16-day window. There’s no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. It’s a real bummer.
Let’s start with the first few days. For Tuesday the 8th at Vero Beach Pier, we’re looking at a tiny 2 ft NE swell with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 42, and that cross-on E wind at 6 mph is just messing it up. It’s poor. Wednesday the 9th isn’t any better – swell bumps up to 3 ft, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, and the wind swings cross-shore then cross-onshore, making it choppy. The energy gets up to 109, but it’s all mush. Thursday and Friday are more of the same – tiny surf, poor conditions, and winds that won’t clean it up. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is right about average for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal.
As we move into the second week, things don’t improve. From Saturday the 14th all the way through to the end of the period, we’re seeing waves that barely hit 1 ft. The swell direction shifts around, but it’s all short-period windswell. The combined energy stays in the low teens to thirties. The wind gets a bit cleaner on the 23rd with a WNW cross-off at 19 mph, but the swell is just not there at 2 ft. By the final few days, the wind is howling from the north at 22 to 25 mph, making it messy and lumpy. This isn’t a surf forecast; it’s a kite-surfing forecast if you’re into that.
Bottom line: there’s nothing to recommend. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.
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.

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.
