The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty flat spell we’re in. The next sixteen days are looking like a write-off for any real surf. The first decent recommendation doesn’t actually show up until the very end, and even then, it’s a stretch. We’re talking about a long gap of nothing.
We’ve got Vero Beach Pier as the only spot in the game, and it’s a tough watch. The water temp is sitting around 83°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
For the first week and a half, it’s all tiny, weak slop. Swell heights are stuck between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, mostly from the east or northeast, but the period is short – under 8 seconds – so there’s no push. The combined energy never cracks 100, sitting at a measly 16 for most of it, so it’s weak. Winds are all over the place, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, with a few glassy moments on Tuesday the 8th morning and Thursday the 17th morning, but there’s just no swell to make them count. Everything is marked as “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero. For a beach/pier setup, it’s just not worth paddling out for.
A real low point comes on Saturday the 12th morning with a swell of 0.7 ft from the east at 7 seconds – that’s just a ripple. The energy is down to 10. It’s sad.
We finally see a tiny pulse on Tuesday the 22nd morning, with a swell building to 3 ft from the northeast, but it’s onshore wind at 30 km/h, and the period is only 6 seconds. The energy climbs to 67, but it’s messy. That afternoon, the swell hits 4 ft from the northeast, but again, onshore winds at 30 km/h, and a period of 6 seconds. The energy is 96. This is the only time the swell gets over 3 ft, but the wind is a killer. For a beginner, 4 ft in these choppy, onshore conditions is not ideal, and it’s not the clean, rolling wave you want.
So, honestly, there’s no standout. If you’re a local, you know this stretch can happen. Best to save the energy and wait for the next system to swing through. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
Keep your head up.

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.
