Boaters navigating the Indian River County waterway after dark face extra risks at the bar during the day's shallowest water at 11:34 p.m.
TODAY: A mixed semidiurnal tide pattern runs through Sebastian Inlet on Friday, offering two distinct fishing and navigation windows. High temperature and rain chance data were not available for this report. According to initial reports,
TONIGHT: The overnight low tide of 0.2 feet arrives at 11:34 p.m. — the shallowest water of the day. Boaters transiting the inlet after dark should exercise extra caution around the bar.
THIS WEEK: No extended forecast data was available beyond Friday's tide cycle. According to initial reports,
ON THE WATER: Friday's tides at Sebastian Inlet run as follows: first high tide at 5:07 a.m. (2.3 feet), dropping to a low of 0.6 feet by 11:24 a.m., rising again to a second high of 1.9 feet at 5:17 p.m., and bottoming out at 0.2 feet just before midnight. The morning outgoing tide creates the strongest current through the inlet, typically the best window for snook, redfish, and flounder action along the jetties. The afternoon incoming tide ahead of the 5:17 p.m. high offers a second productive bite. Kayakers and paddleboarders should avoid the inlet mouth near both high tides when current runs hardest.
ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings, or advisories were associated with this data set. Always check NWS Melbourne for the latest marine and coastal alerts before heading out.
