The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for Vero Beach Pier.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with mostly poor surf conditions. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of anything surfable shows up on the morning of Saturday, July 25th. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the east, but the wind goes glassy from the SSE. That’s the key. It’s gonna be clean, almost no wind, so you might get a few fun little peelers. The wave energy is weak (58), so it’s a beginner-friendly, small-wave session. If you’re just needing to get wet, that’s your window.
Sunday morning, July 26th, also looks clean with a light offshore WSW wind at 6 mph, but the swell drops to 2ft. It’s small, but it’ll be smooth. The rest of the 16 days? Mostly poor surf, with the swell barely getting above 2ft. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, but there’s just no push. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s all windswell – not much shape or power.
The one standout in the whole run is that Saturday morning, July 25th, at Vero Beach Pier. The glassy conditions make it the best of a very small bunch. It’s not gonna be epic, but it’s the cleanest surf you’ll see for a while. After that, we’ve got a long gap of flat, clean but tiny surf until the very end of the period. The swell tries to pick up a bit on August 7th, hitting 4ft, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s more of a mess than a treat.
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.
