The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough stretch for surf around here. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with no real rideable waves on the table. The whole period is a write-off for paddle surfing, so don’t get your hopes up.
We start off on Wednesday, 2nd September, and it’s already a no-go. Tiny 2ft easterly swell with a weak 10-second period – the combined energy is a measly 60, so there’s just nothing pushing in. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But the wind is onshore from the east at 9 mph, and the wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” That’s it for the first day.
Moving through Thursday, 3rd September, we get a slight bump in swell height to 4ft in the afternoon, but the period drops to a shocking 5 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, no shape. The energy climbs to 76, but it’s cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it a choppy mess. “Poor surf conditions” again. Friday, 4th September, sees the swell drop back to 2ft with a 5-second period, and cross-shore winds keep it small and messy. Nothing worth paddling for.
The whole weekend and into the following week is just flat. Heights hover around 0.7ft to 1ft, periods are short, and the combined energy barely cracks double digits. There’s a moment on Monday morning, 7th September, with glassy conditions and a 9-second period, but the swell is only 1.0ft and the energy is 15 – it’s not surfable, it’s a lake. The same story repeats day after day: “poor surf conditions” all the way through to the 17th of September.
Here’s the hard truth: every single entry in the forecast says “poor surf conditions.” There is no standout, no hidden gem, no window of opportunity. The break is consistent, but it’s consistently flat. For a spot like this, a prolonged blank run isn’t unusual, but it still stings.
If you’re desperate, you could look at the 17th of September, Thursday morning – glassy winds, 2ft swell, but the period is 5 seconds and the energy is 38. That’s not a wave, it’s a ripple. Not worth the drive.
So, I’m calling it: no surf for the next 16 days. Keep the board in the car for something else, or just wait it out. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a total skunk.
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.
