The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, with the same look in numbers you might be more used to.
We’re looking at a long, flat spell for Vero Beach Pier. For the first week and a half, from Saturday the 18th through late Friday the 24th, the surf is practically non-existent. Swell is tiny, mostly 0.7 ft to 1 ft from the east, and the combined energy is weak, mostly in the single digits or low double digits (15 to 98). The wind is a mess, either onshore or cross-shore, making it choppy and unrideable. It’s a tough stretch.
Then, on Saturday morning the 25th of July, we finally get a pulse. The swell picks up to about 3 ft from the east-southeast, and the combined energy jumps to 219 (moderate). The wind is light from the south, cleaning things up with a nice cross-offshore flow. The water temperature is about 84°, which is normal for the time of year. That Saturday morning is your one real window. It’s not a heavy day, but it’s the only one with any shape and clean conditions. The afternoon goes back to choppy.
After that, the rest of the 16 days from Sunday the 26th through to Sunday the 2nd of August is a flat, slow grind. Swell drops back to 1 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the east, with combined energy under 40 (weak). The winds do turn offshore from the west and southwest on a few mornings, so the water will be glassy, but there’s just no wave energy to work with. It’s like a perfect, clean lake.
So, the one and only highlight is that Saturday morning, the 25th. It’s small and clean, best for intermediate surfers. The rest of the window is a long, quiet gap. This is just how it goes sometimes. Keep your hopes up, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
