The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Vero Beach Pier over the next couple of weeks. I'm gonna level with you straight up: it's gonna be a long, dry spell. We've got a solid week or more of tiny, messy waves before we even see a glimmer of hope, so don't be in a rush to paddle out.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, it's a real struggle. The swell is tiny, mostly under 1.6ft, and that combined energy is way down there in the weak zone (single and low double digits). Winds are mostly cross-onshore, chopping everything up. There's a brief moment Tuesday morning the 11th with glassy conditions on a tiny 1.3ft wave, but there's just no power behind it. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th mornings clean up with a light cross-offshore wind, but again, the swell is barely a ripple at 0.7ft. It's a real test of patience.
We finally get a little pulse of life on Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning session will see some cross-offshore wind and a small 2.6ft ESE swell. The energy is a moderate 179, so there's something to work with, but it's still just "surfable" – not exactly a standout. The real gem, the one day you should circle on your calendar, is the morning of Thursday the 20th of August. We've got a proper groundswell from the East at 3ft, with a long period of 11 seconds. That's going to push some decent energy through the pier, with a combined energy reading of 203 (moderate wave energy). And the kicker? A light offshore wind from the WSW will have those lines standing up clean. That's the best the forecast has to offer, and it's for the intermediate crew. The swell direction (E) lines up nicely with what the pier likes. After that, it fades back into the small stuff.
So, keep your expectations in check for the next ten days, then be ready to pounce on that Thursday morning session. It won't last long.

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.
