The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Vero Beach Pier. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for anything epic.
For the first few days, we’re talking tiny waves. Sunday the 6th starts with a mere 0.7 ft of east swell at 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 5 (weak). The wind is light and cross-off in the morning, so it’ll be clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th offer a slight bump to 1 ft, but the energy is still very low (14–36). Tuesday morning the 8th has some glassy conditions with the wind swinging light NNE, which is nice, but again, the swell is too small to bother with. This pattern of tiny, weak surf and poor conditions continues through the whole first week and into the second. We’re looking at a solid five-day gap with no real surf to recommend.
The only glimmer of something bigger comes around Wednesday the 17th and Thursday the 18th, but even that’s a stretch. The swell picks up to 2 ft, but the period is a short and choppy 5 seconds, and the energy is still very low (25–29). The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, so it’ll be bumpy. Then on Monday the 21st, we finally see some moderate energy kick in at 202 (moderate), with a 3 ft swell from the ENE at 10 seconds. The problem is the wind is howling onshore at 16 mph from the east, making it a choppy, messy mess. That’s not a surfer’s wave – that’s a kite surfer’s setup.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s no standout. Everything is rated as poor surf conditions. The water temp is about average for this time of year along the beach. Vero Beach Pier is a consistent spot, but it’s just not firing. Sometimes it goes flat, and this is one of those times. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next system.
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.
