The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Vero Beach Pier. The next couple of weeks are mostly a quiet affair, I gotta be honest with you. For the first nine days, from the end of July right through to the 6th of August, the surf is real small and just not doing much. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly around 0.7ft to 3ft, with weak energy readings that barely get into double digits. It’s a tough stretch, with a lot of risk of thunderstorms and onshore winds making things messy. That’s a long gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling out for.
Then, we finally get a bit of a pulse on the 7th of August – Friday morning. The swell picks up to 6ft from the east, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 1007. That’s the first real sign of life. The problem is, the wind is blowing straight onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, which is gonna make it a bumpy, lumpy mess. The wave comment calls it “marginal,” and honestly, for a beach/pier setup, that onshore breeze is a killer. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only window where the swell has any size.
After that, the 8th of August (Saturday) has some leftover energy, with 5ft from the ESE, but again, cross-onshore winds from the north keep it from being clean. The energy is still moderate at 435. By the 9th of August (Sunday morning), the swell drops to 4ft, but we get a break in the wind. A light westerly breeze at 6 mph makes it cross-offshore and clean. That’s the best we’re gonna see. The waves are small, but the conditions will be glassy, and the sets will be rideable. It’s a surfable, ordinary kind of day, but for this stretch, it’s the pick of the bunch.
Beyond that, the second week just fades back into tiny, weak surf with onshore winds. The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is about a degree and a half colder than average for this time of year, so it’s a bit cooler than usual, but nothing crazy.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Sunday the 9th of August is your best bet. It’s not a classic, but the clean conditions will give you something to work with on that small, 4ft, ESE swell. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game.

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.
