The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but I’ll switch to feet and miles for you. Same story, different numbers.
The whole 16-day outlook is a dud. No surf worth talking about from the start. The only break on the menu is Vero Beach Pier. It’s a consistent beach/pier setup, but the wind is garbage for almost the entire run. The swell is tiny, weak, and from the wrong direction—optimum is NE, but we’re getting E to ESE junk.
Water temp is 81°F, which is about 3°F cooler than normal for August. So it’s a bit chilly, but nothing wild.
Wave heights for the first week, August 3rd through the 9th, are 1ft to 3ft at best, with short periods of 5 to 8 seconds. The combined energy in the water is weak, barely cracking triple digits until Friday the 7th, when it hits a moderate 125 in the morning and 155 in the afternoon. But the wind is cross-on and choppy, making it a mess. Tuesday morning the 4th is glassy, but the swell is only 1ft—not enough to ride.
The second week, from August 10th onward, the swell drops to 0.7ft to 1ft. The energy is weak again. There are a few glassy or clean mornings on the 13th, 17th, and 18th, but the swell is 0.7ft to 1ft with a 6-8 second period. You’d be bobbing, not surfing.
Every single entry says “poor surf conditions.” There’s no standout break, no best session. This is a total blank period. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a tough stretch. If you’ve got a kite, maybe the cross-on winds could work, but the swell is barely there. Forecasts can change, but right now, 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.
Vero Beach Pier is 8 km (5 miles) from Vero Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Vero Beach. Vero Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
