The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for the next 16 days. It’s a tough one for Vero Beach, so don't get your hopes up too high.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing. The first few days are a write-off. We're looking at tiny, weak swell and poor conditions with cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The only spot on the radar is Vero Beach Pier, and the water temp is sitting around 83.5° which is dead average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick wetsuit.
The first glimmer of anything happens on Wednesday, September 2nd in the morning. There’s a glassy moment with a light easterly breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 1.3ft with an 11-second period. The combined energy is a measly (62). It's surfable, but honestly, it's barely worth paddling out for. That’s the only real chance for a clean wave in the first week.
From there, it's back to the doldrums. Day after day of tiny, weak swell, mostly under 1.6ft, and poor conditions. The wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up any hope of a decent wave. This flat spell looks like it will run right through until the morning of Tuesday, September 15th, with nothing but poor surf and low energy.
The one and only standout in this entire 16-day window is the morning of Wednesday, September 16th. We finally see some size. The swell jumps to a solid 4.6ft, coming from the NE with an 8-second period. The combined energy kicks up to (237), which is actually moderate. The wind is light and variable, making for clean conditions. This is the pick of the bunch. It's not a massive day, but after two weeks of nothing, 4.6ft with clean conditions at Vero Beach Pier will feel like a gift. Keep in mind, this is a long way out, so don't book your flights yet, but that Wednesday morning is the one to circle on the calendar. For the rest of the time, it’s a true flat spell.

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.
