The Lowdown
Grab your board, but maybe not your hopes just yet. The next week-and-a-half is a tough watch for Vero Beach Pier. Sunday the 13th through most of the following week is flat, with tiny 1ft to 1.5ft windswell and a lot of onshore junk. The water’s warm at 84.6°, about half a degree above average for the time of year, but you won't be surfing. There’s a 10-day stretch of nothing worth paddling for.
We finally get a sniff of life on Tuesday the 22nd with a weak 2ft NE swell in the morning, clean with a light cross-offshore, but it’s ordinary. The real standout is Wednesday the 23rd. That morning delivers a clean 6ft NE groundswell, period 9 seconds, and moderate offshore wind from the southwest. The combined energy jumps to 972 — solid, punchy waves. By the afternoon it bumps up to 6.5ft with 1058 combined energy and still offshore. That’s excellent for experienced surfers. A bit big for beginners though.
Thursday the 24th holds clean waves in the morning, 5.5ft from the ENE with light cross-offshore, then goes glassy by afternoon. Friday the 25th is the other highlight: morning 6ft ENE with light cross-offshore, afternoon drops to 6ft but turns glassy. Both days are very good. Saturday the 26th starts glassy with 4.5ft ENE — a great session if you paddle out early — but the wind swings onshore by the afternoon and chops it up.
After that, Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th get messy with onshore NE winds and dropping swell. The fun’s done by then. For this stretch, lock in Wednesday the 23rd through Friday the 25th. That’s your window.

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.
