Fort Pierce Tides Dip Deep Friday for Prime Fishing
Low tides at 3:57 a.m. and 4:09 p.m. on March 6 promise strong inflows for snook and redfish, plus ideal wading and clamming in St. Lucie County waters.
TODAY: Tide data from NOAA CO-OPS shows a strong tidal swing at Fort Pierce on Friday, March 6, with two low tides and two high tides across the day.
TIDE SCHEDULE — FORT PIERCE (March 6, 2026) - Low: 3:57 a.m. — -0.2 ft - High: 10:02 a.m. — 2.5 ft - Low: 4:09 p.m. — -0.4 ft - High: 10:33 p.m. — 2.7 ft
ON THE WATER: The morning low at 3:57 a.m. sets up a strong incoming tide through the Fort Pierce Inlet during early fishing hours — a prime window for snook, redfish, and trout as water pushes baitfish through the channel. The afternoon low at 4:09 p.m. is the deeper of the two, reaching -0.4 ft., and will expose shallow grass flats and oyster bars along the Indian River Lagoon. Anglers targeting sheepshead and redfish on structure should time a moving tide around that 4 p.m. drop. The overnight high of 2.7 ft. at 10:33 p.m. is the strongest of the day. Boaters returning to the marina after dark should note elevated water near dock lines and low clearance bridges.
