The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Vero Beach Pier. The outlook’s a tough one – we’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first few days are dead: Monday the 20th through Thursday the 24th offer nothing but tiny, weak slop with cross-shore or cross-onshore winds. The combined swell energy barely cracks 20–30 (weak), and the waves are under 2 ft. Not a single session worth your wax.
The only glimmer comes on Saturday the 25th. Morning shows a clean 2 ft swell from the east, period around 8 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze from the SSW. Combined energy bumps up to 63 – still weak, but the clean conditions make it surfable for the intermediate crew. That said, it’s very ordinary: small, short period, and the swell direction is east, not the ideal northeast the pier wants. Crowds are possible, so don’t expect it empty. After that, the rest of the 16 days go back to tiny, choppy, or clean but flat – barely 1–2 ft, with energy in the teens and twenties. Winds turn offshore or cross-off at times, but the waves just aren’t there.
For a spot that’s normally consistent, this is a real bummer. You’ve got a long wait from now until the 25th, and then another dead run right through to August 4th. If you're desperate, the Saturday morning might give you a few knee-high waves, but don’t expect any standouts. The pier is a beach/pier setup, so when it’s this small, it’s more of a paddle than a surf. Hang tight – forecasts can change, but right now, the cupboard is bare.

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.
