The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of flatness and poor conditions ahead, so don’t be getting your hopes up.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. Right from the start on Thursday 3rd September, we get a tiny tease of 2ft from the east, but it’s a risk t-storm morning with perfect glassy conditions at Vero Beach Pier. The water is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, but the swell itself is weak as dishwater with only 84 units of energy. It’s surfable, but it’s so ordinary you’d struggle to have fun. That afternoon the wind picks up and chops it to pieces.
From Friday 4th September onwards, it’s a sorry tale. The swell drops to 2ft, then 2ft, and even 1.0ft, with periods all over the shop but mostly short and weak. The energy is pitiful – single and low double digits mostly. The wind is never in our favour, with cross-onshore and onshore breezes ruining the shape. A few mornings offer glassy or clean conditions, like Sunday 6th September with a 1.0ft east swell and offshore wind, but there’s simply no swell to ride. It’s like a swimming pool out there.
The only slight pulse comes on Wednesday 9th September morning, when the energy jumps to 140 units and the swell hits 2ft from the northeast, but it’s onshore wind and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions”. That’s as good as it gets, and it’s not good. The next couple of weeks are a flat, choppy mess. This spot is consistent, but it tends not to stay this poor for long, so forecasts can change. Right now though, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
