Fort Pierce Tide Schedule for Friday, June 6, 2026

Friday's tide cycle at Fort Pierce delivers a dramatic range that every angler, kayaker, and beach-goer on St. Lucie County's waterfront should know before they leave the dock.

TODAY Partly cloudy with typical early-June warmth. Afternoon rain chances remain possible as the region edges deeper into rainy season.

TONIGHT Overnight conditions expected to be mild.

THIS WEEK Extended forecast not provided. Do not plan beyond Friday's confirmed tide windows.

ON THE WATER Four tidal turns shape Friday at the Fort Pierce Inlet. The overnight high — 2.7 feet at 12:13 a.m. — is the day's strongest, pulling current through the inlet in the hours most anglers sleep through. By 6:25 a.m., the tide bottoms out at 0.4 feet, making first light the prime window: baitfish funnel tight, snook stack on the edges, and the flats off South Beach Island go skinny enough for wade fishing.

The afternoon high arrives at 12:21 p.m. at a modest 2.1 feet — a full half-foot shallower than the overnight peak, meaning afternoon incoming current is gentler and slower. Plan your offshore run accordingly. The building tide after noon favors reef fishing off St. Lucie Inlet, but don't expect the flush that early risers enjoyed.

The day's most notable number comes at 6:21 p.m., when the evening low drops to near-zero — 0.1 feet above mean lower low water. Oyster bars and grass flats south of the Fort Pierce Inlet will be fully exposed. Kayakers and shallow-draft boaters should treat the southern flats of the Indian River Lagoon with caution during the two hours bracketing that 6:21 p.m. low.
