Alright, Rusty here, let me put it in feet and miles for you.
For the next 16 days at Vero Beach Pier, the story is flat and weak. There’s no good surf to get excited about – the whole period is marked by poor surf conditions.
Starting Sunday the 5th, it’s glassy but the swell is only 1ft from the east, with an 8-second period and a combined energy of just 12 – weak as dishwater. Water temp is 82°, pretty normal for this time of year. Nothing doing.
Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th see the swell drop as low as 0.6ft. Some mornings have a clean cross-off breeze, but with no wave height, it’s a waste. Wednesday the 8th pushes up to 1ft, energy hits 43 in the afternoon, but still poor.
The best of a bad bunch is Thursday the 9th morning: 2ft, 9-second period from the east, energy of 64, with a light cross-shore wind. It’s not good, just less bad.
The second week is no better. From the 14th on, the swell swings to NE and ENE, heights never top 2ft, periods drop to 4-7 seconds. The 20th sees 2ft to 3ft from the ESE, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy – better for a kite than a surfboard.
Save the gas. Nothing worth chasing here.
Keep an eye out, things can turn, but right now it’s a long stretch of nothing.

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.
