The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks around Vero Beach Pier.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing for the next 16 days. The surf is pretty much flat to tiny the entire run, with no standout sessions at all. The combined energy barely gets out of the single digits for most of it, and the highest we see is a weak 99 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on Wednesday the 9th, which is still tiny mushy stuff.
Starting out this Friday afternoon, September 4th, we’ve got a weak 2ft swell from the ESE with a short period of 5 seconds, and a cross-onshore breeze chopping it up. Not even worth a look. Saturday morning the 5th cleans up with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell’s dropped to 1ft. It’s flat, flat, flat.
There’s a little bump in energy mid-week, around Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th, with swell heights reaching 3ft from the NE. But the period is short (8 to 9 seconds), and the winds are either onshore or cross-onshore, making for bumpy, weak waves. Not great. By the weekend of the 12th and 13th, we’re back to tiny, onshore slop. The biggest swell in the whole run is 3ft from the NE on Sunday the 13th and again on Friday the 18th, but with periods of 6 to 7 seconds and onshore winds, it’s just messy.
The water temp is a warm 83°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there’s nothing to recommend. If you’re desperate for salt water, the Tuesday morning of the 8th might be the most glassy and calm you’ll see, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0ft. For kite surfing, the onshore breezes and tiny chop might be more interesting than paddle surfing, but even then, it’s marginal. This is one of those stretches where you just gotta wait for the next system to roll through. Forecasts can change, but this one’s lookin’ pretty grim.
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.
