Fort Pierce Tide Schedule for Monday, May 25, 2026

TODAY: A textbook late-May tidal setup greets Fort Pierce anglers and beachgoers Monday, with a razor-thin low tide midmorning that will expose flats, drain the jetty cuts and concentrate baitfish — setting up one of the better fishing windows of the week.

TONIGHT: The tide bottoms out again just after 11 p.m., with a mild low of 0.3 feet. Conditions favor night fishermen working the inlet with live bait on the outgoing flow.

THIS WEEK: Tidal range remains moderate through the Memorial Day weekend. The semidiurnal pattern — two highs and two lows each day — continues. Afternoon high tides near 2.5 to 2.6 feet are consistent with late spring norms for the Fort Pierce gauge, NOAA CO-OPS data shows.

ON THE WATER: The 10:39 a.m. low of minus 0.0 feet is the day's defining number. A true zero-tide low drains the Indian River Lagoon's shallow grass flats to their bones, pushing redfish and snook into deeper channels and against structure. Work the south jetty rocks and the deeper cuts near the Fort Pierce Inlet with live shrimp or a gold spoon in the nine to eleven a.m. window, just ahead of the flood. The afternoon high at 5:09 p.m. (2.6 feet) will push bait and gamefish back onto the flats — a second, shorter window for sight-fishing before sunset.

ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for St. Lucie County at time of publication, forecasters said.
