Alright folks, Rusty here. Got to level with you—this outlook is a tough one.
Look, we’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but honestly, there isn’t a single day where the stars align for a proper surf. It’s a long, flat stretch starting now and running all the way through to the end of the forecast on July 23rd. The swell energy is weak, barely scratching past 90 (90) on the best day, and most of the time it’s down in the teens. That’s just not enough to push anything rideable.
The only break that’s consistently on offer is Vero Beach Pier, but it’s a beach and pier setup exposed to the east. The swell we do see is tiny—mostly 1ft to 1ft from the east or southeast, with period hanging around 4 to 10 seconds. That’s short-period, weak stuff. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, just a touch cooler than average.
Winds are a mixed bag but mostly onshore or cross-onshore, especially afternoons, which chops things up further. There are a few mornings early on like Wednesday July 8th and Sunday July 12th where it’s cleaner with light cross-off or even glassy conditions, but the swell is just not there to make anything of it. On Friday July 17th morning we see that little peak in energy (90) with a 3ft south-east swell, but again, the wind is cross and the period a short 5 seconds—it’s messy and weak.
With such low energy and period, and the break being a beach setup, this stretch really looks more promising for kiteboarding than paddle surfing if you’re after any action at all. Trust me, I hate writing this, but sometimes the ocean just doesn’t cooperate. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope entirely, but for 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. 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.
