The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a flat spell. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with almost no energy behind it. The only spot in the game is Vero Beach Pier, and even that's more of a hope than a plan. The water's running a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, sitting at 83°, which is a touch on the chill side for July.
For the next week and a half, from Friday the 24th to the end of the month, we've got nothing doing. The swell is a joke, with heights barely scraping 3 ft in the early hours and then dropping to 1 ft by the 30th. The combined energy is weak, in the low double digits (81 or less), and that 8-second period is just windswell mush. The wind is the only good thing here, going clean offshore from the west and southwest, especially in the mornings, but there's no wave to ride. The best of a bad lot is the late Sunday afternoon the 26th, with a glassy 2 ft, but it's still just a ripple.
Moving into the first week of August, it's more of the same. Saturday the 1st through Tuesday the 5th are all tiny, with 1 ft to 1 ft of swell. We get some glassy mornings on the 4th and 5th, which is beautiful, but again, the ocean is flat. The energy numbers are still in the teens and twenties – pathetic.
The only tiny flicker of hope comes way out on Friday the 7th of August. The swell picks up a little to 2 ft, but the period is a terrible 4 seconds from the southeast. That's just wind chop, and it's got a cross-onshore wind on it. It won't be worth paddling out. The last day of the forecast, Saturday the 8th, is the same story: 2 ft of messy, short-period swell from the east-southeast. It's a shame, because the long-range conditions are often more promising, but this is a real bust.
There's no standout, no hidden gem, no best on offer. The whole 16-day window is a dud for surfing. For a spot like this, these blank runs happen. It won't stay poor forever, but for now, the board stays in the car.
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.
