The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for our local sandbars is a bit of a bummer right now. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and generally messy conditions. The water temp is sitting right around 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, so that's one thing you don't have to worry about.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Wednesday, July 22nd, but it ain't pretty. Vero Beach Pier is seeing tiny 1.0ft east swell with a short period of 8 seconds and weak energy (23). The wind is a cross-shore from the SSE, making things a bit chopped. Honestly, it's a tough one to get excited about.
We do see a tiny glimmer of hope on the afternoon of Friday, July 24th. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the east, and the wave energy climbs to a moderate 84. Still a short period of 8 seconds, but it's the biggest we'll see in the whole 16-day window. The wind is still a cross-onshore, keeping it choppy, so it's not going to be a classic.
The closest we get to a clean window is Sunday, July 26th. In the afternoon, the wind goes glassy out of the north-northeast, and the water will be like a mirror. Problem is, the swell is only 2ft with energy at 31. It's a knee-high dribble, but if you're desperate for a smooth, clean glide on a log, that's your best bet.
For the rest of the run, from July 27th through August 6th, we're looking at a flat spell. Swell heights stay stuck at 1.0ft to 1ft, periods are short, and the energy numbers are mostly in the teens or single digits. We do get some clean offshore winds on the mornings of August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but with that little swell, it's just a tease. The wind hits 22 mph on the afternoon of August 3rd, but with a 2ft south-east wind swell at 4 seconds, it's more of a kite session than a paddle session.
The best of a bad bunch? If you're a true die-hard, Sunday afternoon, July 26th, and those clean mornings in early August are your only real shots.
Stay patient, and keep the board waxed.
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.
