The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, lookin' at the same picture for Vero Beach Pier but in feet and miles per hour.
Gotta be straight with you: the surf report is a rough read. For the first two weeks, the ocean is just flat and sloppy. We're talking combined wave energy mostly in the weak range, and the wind is often onshore or cross-shore, leaving the water choppy. It's a long stretch of poor surf conditions.
It kicks off on Sunday the 9th of August with a small 3ft swell from the ESE at a short period of 8 seconds. A cross-on breeze makes it a messy, choppy affair. That theme sticks. Monday the 10th drops to 2ft. Tuesday the 11th offers a glassy morning, but the swell is only 1ft. Wednesday the 12th is clean with an offshore wind, but the swell is a paltry 0.7ft. There is a blank run from the 9th all the way through to the 19th with no surf worth mentioning.
Then we get a tiny window. On Thursday the 20th of August, the morning shows a small 2ft swell from the east with a 10-second period. The wind switches to a clean cross-offshore. The combined energy is still low at 66, but the score finally ticks up to a 1 out of 10. The water temp sits at 83°F, which is a bit cooler than the average for this time of year.
Friday the 21st of August gives us the best of a bad bunch. The morning is clean with a 1ft swell and offshore wind. The energy is only 32. The afternoon is your best bet: a 2ft ESE swell with a 9-second period and a cross-offshore wind keeping the surface clean. Combined energy hits 68. It’s not big, but for a clean waist-high wave, it’s all we’ve got. Since the break is consistent, it's worth a paddle if you’re itching. Just know the crowds could show up too.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak swell and onshore winds for the rest of the forecast. Nothing on the horizon to get excited about, boys.
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.

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.
