The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook for the Vero Beach Pier area is a bit of a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell for any decent surf. There’s nothing really on the cards for the first week at all. The first few days are just tiny, weak easterly dribble with a combined wave energy barely cracking 14 (4), and it’s accompanied by risk of thunderstorms and poor conditions. That’s a real bummer.
We’ve got a gap of several days with no real recommendations. The swell stays small and the wind just isn't playing ball. It’s not until the morning of Saturday, August 8th, that we finally see a glimmer of hope. The morning shows a glassy clean surface with calm wind, but the swell is a modest 2 ft from the east with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is just 63 (weak), so it’s barely surfable, but it’s the only window that’s not completely written off. The water temp is about 81°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit.
After that, it’s more of the same – tiny waves and onshore or cross-onshore breezes for the rest of the second week. There’s no standout session here, no big groundswell or clean offshore wind to get excited about. The few cleaner moments are on tiny, underpowered swell. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real flat spell. If you’re desperate, the Saturday morning of the 8th is your only real shot, but keep expectations low.
Stay patient, and hopefully the forecasts change. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
