A strong 3.3-foot evening high sets up prime morning fishing windows along the St. Lucie coast
A near-zero low tide just before 1 a.m. sets the table Saturday for one of the wider tidal swings of the early summer season at Fort Pierce Inlet — a range of more than three feet that anglers, boaters, and beachgoers can work to their advantage.

ON THE WATER: Saturday's tidal rhythm favors an early start. The morning high of 2.5 feet arrives at 6:51 a.m., pushing bait into the grass flats and snook lanes along the St. Lucie County shoreline — a classic ambush window for inshore anglers working the Indian River Lagoon's southern basin. By early afternoon, the tide bottoms out at near-zero feet (0.7 feet below mean low water) at 1:03 p.m., exposing shallow structure and concentrating fish. The day's dominant tide — a 3.3-foot high — rolls in at 7:43 p.m., making the last hour of light a second productive window for trout and redfish on the incoming push. Water depth over oyster bars and shallow flats near Fort Pierce Inlet will be reduced between roughly noon and 3 p.m., according to NOAA CO-OPS data.
ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings, or advisories are reflected in this tidal data. Officials said
