The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s on the menu for the Vero Beach Pier stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this forecast and it’s pretty quiet. The entire 16-day window is a long stretch of small, weak surf. We’re talking about a run of days where the wave energy just doesn’t get any teeth. There’s a gap from now until the 9th of September where it’s flat and poor, and then it just stays in that same small, mushy range all the way through to the 21st. It’s not a total blank, but it’s close.
The most energy we see is around Wednesday the 9th, with combined swell energy hitting 185 (moderate wave energy), but that’s a 3-foot swell from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds, and a cross-onshore wind. It’s going to be choppy and weak. Not the kind of day that gets you out of bed early.
The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about 1° cooler than average, so nothing unusual for the time of year.
For the mornings, the cleanest conditions actually pop up a few times – like Monday the 7th with a light offshore, or Saturday the 12th with glassy conditions. But the problem is the swell. It’s tiny. That 1-foot to 1-foot swell with 7 to 8-second periods barely qualifies as a wave. You’d be on a log or a foamie just to get a cruisy glide.
If you’re absolutely desperate for a paddle, the glassy morning of Saturday the 12th (1-foot from the east) or the clean cross-off on Sunday the 13th (1-foot from the east) are your best bets for a totally flat, peaceful session. But there’s nothing here that’s going to offer any real power or shape.
Overall, this is a quiet period for Vero Beach Pier. The setup is a beach/pier break, so with these tiny, short-period swells and occasional onshore winds, it’s more of a paddleboard or kite-surfing setup than a proper surf session. Don’t hold your breath for a standout.
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.

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.
