Tide Schedule: Sebastian Inlet, April 29, 2026

TODAY: Sebastian Inlet runs on a mixed semidiurnal tide cycle Wednesday, meaning two distinct high-low swings of unequal height. The day's bigger push comes after dark.

TONIGHT: The evening high tide crests at 2.9 feet at 8:24 p.m., the strongest reading of the day. Plan accordingly if you're launching after dinner or pulling crab traps at last light.

THIS WEEK: Officials said

ON THE WATER: Wednesday's tide sequence at Sebastian Inlet runs as follows, according to NOAA CO-OPS predictions:

— Low: 1:54 a.m. — 0.2 feet — High: 7:47 a.m. — 2.5 feet — Low: 2:05 p.m. — 0.0 feet — High: 8:24 p.m. — 2.9 feet

The near-zero afternoon low at 2:05 p.m. is the sharpest tidal drop of the day — ideal for snook and redfish anglers who know that predators stack at Sebastian's rock jetties when baitfish funnel through on a falling tide. Target that window from roughly noon through 2 p.m. for the most productive current movement. The 7:47 a.m. morning high offers a secondary opportunity for kayak anglers working the lagoon side of the inlet before boat traffic builds.

Sebastian Inlet's tide times typically run 10 to 20 minutes ahead of Fort Pierce Inlet to the south, a reflection of the inlet's more northerly position along the Indian River Lagoon system and its direct Atlantic exposure. Keep this in mind if you're comparing Wednesday's schedule across stations.

ALERTS: No active National Weather Service watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Indian River County at time of publication, according to NOAA data. Confirm conditions before launching.
