Table - best surf conditions forecast for Vero Beach Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are a tough watch for surf at Vero Beach Pier. The whole run is a flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak energy and poor surf conditions from start to finish.
The first real chance to even consider a paddle comes on Saturday, July 11th in the afternoon. We’ve got a tiny 1ft easterly swell with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 22. That’s barely enough to roll over. But here’s the catch: the wind goes glassy and the sky is threatening a risk of t-storms. That glassy surface is the only saving grace – it’ll be clean, but you’ll be fighting for knee-high lumps.
The most promising window in the whole outlook is actually Sunday, July 12th morning. Offshore wind from the southwest at 10 km/h, with that same 1ft of east swell (period 8 seconds). The energy is low at 12, but the wind is clean. It’s the best you’re going to get, and it’s still barely a longboard glide. The water temperature is 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Monday, July 13th morning keeps the clean theme with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still 1ft. After that, it’s a sad pattern of cross-onshore winds and choppy surface, with swell heights never cracking 3ft. Even the biggest reading on Wednesday, July 15th afternoon – 3ft from the southeast – is a short-period, choppy mess with a combined energy of 59 (weak). It’s not worth the drive.
Sunday, July 19th morning offers a brief moment of offshore wind again, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. By the time we get to the very end around Thursday, July 23rd, the wind is picking up to 25 km/h cross-shore, with tiny 2ft to 2ft swell. That’s kite-surfing wind, not surfer’s wind.
Honestly, there’s nothing here worth paddling out for. This is a classic summer flat spell for Vero Beach Pier. The consistent nature of the break means it won’t stay this bad forever, but for this 16-day window, leave the board in the car.
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.

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.
