The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with your local outlook.
I won’t lie, it’s a rough 16-day stretch for the surf. From July 26th all the way to August 10th, the charts are dry. Long gaps with next to nothing rideable.
Our main spot is Vero Beach Pier (United States). This spot is consistent, but the swell is just missing. The water is sitting at about 82°F, which is a touch colder than usual for the season.
July 26th–July 31st: Flat spells. Swell heights stay between 0.7ft and 2ft. The combined energy is weak (values of 3 to 31) and the period is short—mostly 8 seconds. The wind is offshore on a few mornings, like the 29th and 30th with a moderate offshore breeze, but the waves are barely ankle-snappers. The morning of July 31st goes glassy, but with only 0.7ft and a 4-second period from the NNE, it's dead flat.
August 1st–August 5th: A small NE swell shows on the 1st (1ft, 10s, energy 39) but it’s cross-offshore. We get a bump to 2ft on the 5th afternoon but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Still not good.
August 6th–August 10th: The only time we see anything close to surfable is the afternoon of August 7th. There’s 2ft of east swell (7s period), combined energy of 72, with light cross-offshore wind and clean conditions. The report itself calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” If you’re jonesing, that’s your one window. Everything else is small and messy.
The Pick: I hate to say it, but there’s no standout session. The best bet is the afternoon of Friday, August 7th at Vero Beach Pier, and even then, it’s not much. Beginners can have fun, but for anyone else, it’s a long stretch of flat.
This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area in the summer doldrums. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re best off waiting.
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.
