The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Vero Beach.
Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you. It’s a pretty flat spell coming up. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf and not much to get excited about. The coming days are going to be a struggle.
For Tuesday the 21st, we’re looking at a small, short-period swell from the southeast, only about 2ft, and the wind is a cross-shore, making it a bit of a mess. The combined energy is a weak 33, and the water is about average for this time of year. It’s just not doing anything for us. That trend continues through Wednesday and Thursday with barely a ripple.
We finally get a little glimmer of hope on the 28th. The afternoon sees a bit of a bump from the ESE, 2ft, with a clean offshore wind. The combined energy jumps to 88, which is still weak but it’s the most we’ve seen. The break is Vero Beach Pier, and it’s a consistent spot, but it can get crowded. That’s our best bet for a quick, clean session, but it’s still small.
Then on the 29th, the afternoon looks a touch better again. Swell from the ESE at 3ft, with a moderate offshore wind keeping it clean. The combined energy hits 126, which is at least moderate. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s got a little bit of push. This is the best surf on offer in the whole outlook. It’s not a big day, but if you’re jonesing for a wave, this is the window.
The rest of the month into early August is a write-off. We’ve got a few mornings with clean offshore winds, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. It’s a real bummer, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope completely.

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.
