Sebastian Inlet's Morning Low Tide Dips to 0.7 Feet Thursday

Boaters, anglers and beachgoers heading to Sebastian Inlet on Thursday will see a mixed tide cycle with two highs and two lows throughout the day, according to public records.

TODAY: The first high tide peaks at 4:08 a.m. at 2.3 feet, followed by a low of 0.7 feet at 10:24 a.m. — the most significant drop of the day and the prime window for wade fishermen and shell seekers. An afternoon high of 1.9 feet arrives at 4:15 p.m., with the overnight low bottoming out at 0.3 feet at 10:33 p.m.

ON THE WATER: The morning outgoing tide — running from roughly predawn through mid-morning — typically concentrates baitfish and gamefish near the inlet mouth, making the 6 to 10 a.m. window the preferred fishing period. The 0.3-foot overnight low is the flattest reading of the cycle, signaling a moderate tidal range overall. Kayakers and small-craft operators should plan inlet transits around the slack water periods near 10:24 a.m. and 10:33 p.m.

Tide predictions are issued by NOAA CO-OPS and are subject to variation based on wind and barometric pressure. All times are local.
