Alright, this is Rusty comin' at you with a tough one. Honestly, for the next couple of weeks here at Vero Beach Pier, we are in a flat spell. Looking at the whole picture, there's just nothing to get excited about. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, and it's a blank run for any kind of decent surf.
Friday morning (July 3rd) kicks things off with tiny 2ft swell from the ENE, period a short 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 44. The water temp is sittin' at 82°, which feels a bit colder than normal for July. But look, that swell is so weak and the wind is glassy, it just doesn't matter. The conditions are consistently rated as "poor" right through.
We'll see a few mornings with clean, glassy conditions, like Saturday July 4th and Sunday July 5th, but the swell is only 1ft. It's just not enough to push a wave. The same story goes for the whole first week – a few clean windows here and there, but the ocean is basically flat. Any afternoon breezes just chop up what little ripple there is.
As we roll into the second week, it’s the same old story. Tuesday July 7th and Wednesday July 8th have clean mornings, but the swell is stuck at 1ft. There is a slight bump on Thursday July 9th in the afternoon, with the swell nudging up to 3ft from the ESE, and the energy hitting 117 (moderate), but it's blown out by a strong cross-onshore wind.
Saturday July 11th morning looks clean with offshore wind, WSW at 3 mph, but it's only 2ft. It just doesn't break. The rest of the week is the same – flat, clean mornings, then choppy afternoons. Even the final days, July 17th and 18th, we're down to 0.5ft. There are no standouts here, fellas. This is one of those times where you leave the boards in the garage.
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.
Vero Beach Pier is 8 km (5 miles) from Vero Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Vero Beach. Vero Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
