The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. I’ve been staring at the charts for our stretch of coast here at Vero Beach Pier, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a bummer for the next two weeks. The energy’s just not there. We’re looking at a whole lot of flat, weak conditions through the entire 16-day window.
Kicking things off on Friday July 31st, we’ve got tiny ankle-snappers at best, only 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the east. Winds are light offshore though, which would make it glassy, but there’s simply no push. The combined wave energy is pitiful, hanging around the single digits (4 to 9), so you’re basically bobbing around on a lake. Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report.
That same story carries on through the weekend and into the first week of August. We see a tiny bump on Sunday the 2nd, with the swell creeping up to 2ft from the southeast, but it’s short-period junk at 8 seconds and gets chopped up by a moderate cross-shore wind in the afternoon. Combined energy hits 72, which is still barely a ripple. Not worth getting wet for.
The next couple of days, Monday the 3rd through Thursday the 6th, are more of the same. Swell sits between 2ft and 3ft, mostly from the east-southeast, but the periods are gutless, dropping as low as 4 to 5 seconds. Winds are mostly light to gentle cross-onshore, so the surface is messy. This is really kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Saturday August 8th. We get a glassy morning with 2ft from the east, period stretching to 9 seconds, and no wind at all. The energy climbs to 49 – still weak, but for a moment, it might look rideable on a longboard. Don’t get your hopes up though; it fades again by afternoon.
The second week is a ghost town. From Sunday the 9th right through to Saturday the 15th, we’re looking at 0.7ft to 2ft max, with periods all over the place but never holding any real grunt. Most mornings are glassy or clean, which is the only saving grace, but without any swell, it’s a flat spell. The combined energy rarely breaks out of the teens or low 20s.
Bottom line: There are absolutely no standouts here. The entire 16-day forecast is a dud for Vero Beach Pier. No swell, no power, just a whole lot of nothing. Sometimes the ocean just takes a nap. We’ll have to wait for the next weather system to kick something up. Forecasts change, but right now, leave the board in the garage.

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.
