The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and here’s the long and short of it for the next couple of weeks. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 29th, so you’re looking at a solid six-day gap of nothing but small, choppy, and mostly poor waves.
The only morning that’s got a bit of life is Saturday, August 29th at Vero Beach Pier. The swell is a tiny 1 ft out of the NE, but the wind is dead calm. Glassy. That’s a big deal for a spot like this, and it’ll make those little waves look clean. The water’s sitting at 85°F, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year. The combined energy is a weak 65, so you’ll be scratching for every ride, but if you’ve got a longboard, it’ll be a fun little session. Just watch out for the risk of a thunderstorm.
After that, the forecast gets a bit messy. The swell stays small, barely hitting 3 ft at best, and the wind keeps swinging around to the east and southeast, which puts a nasty chop on the surface. There’s a little bump in energy on Thursday, September 3rd, with a 3 ft east swell and a 12-second period pushing the combined energy to 202, but the wind is cross-shore and choppy, so it’s not going to be clean. The morning of Friday, September 4th might clean up a bit with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is still only 2 ft.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, this is more of a kite surfer’s playground than a paddle surfer’s paradise on most of those afternoons. It’s a waiting game, and the forecast can always change, but right now, it’s pretty slim pickings.
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.
