The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our little stretch of coast.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run ahead. We’re looking at a solid stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions. For the next two weeks, there's almost nothing to get excited about. From now right through to the end of August, the surf is tiny, and the quality is poor. The combined wave energy barely registers, often sitting below 100 (weak). The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Saturday 15th August kicks off with a tiny 0.7ft from the ENE, but it’s a cross-shore mess. No point paddling out.
Sunday 16th through to Sunday 30th August is a flat spell. Swell stays between 0.7ft and 2ft, mostly from the east. Periods are all over the place, from a jumbled 5 seconds to a cleaner 12 seconds, but the size just isn’t there. The wind does swing offshore at times – like Monday 17th morning with a light W, and Tuesday 18th morning with a WSW – giving us glassy or clean conditions, but with only 1ft on offer, it’s barely a ripple. Not worth your time.
The best chance, and I use that term loosely, shows up on Friday 28th August morning. At Vero Beach Pier, we might see a tiny 2ft from the E with a period of 10 seconds, and a light SSW cross-off wind keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate (81). It’s surfable, but only just. This is about as good as it gets, which tells you everything.
After that, Saturday 29th morning bumps up a touch to 3ft from the ESE, but with a short, weak period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (74), and it’s clean with a light S cross-off. It’s still pretty average.
Forget about the afternoon sessions – most are onshore or cross-shore and choppy. There’s also a risk of thunderstorms on some afternoons.
In short: there’s no standout day here. If you absolutely have to get wet, aim for the morning of Friday 28th or Saturday 29th at Vero Beach Pier for the cleanest, most surfable conditions, but keep your expectations real low. It’s a long dry spell.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and maybe pick up a kite if you’re bored.

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.
