Fort Pierce Tide Schedule: Thursday, May 28, 2026

TODAY: Check the tide board before you leave the dock.

Fort Pierce sees four tidal shifts Thursday, with the afternoon low dropping below baseline — a detail that matters whether you're chasing snook along the seawall or trying to walk a sandbar flat.

LOW: 12:59 a.m. — 0.3 ft. HIGH: 6:51 a.m. — 2.3 ft. LOW: 1 p.m. — -0.2 ft. HIGH: 7:33 p.m. — 2.8 ft.

Tide data are from NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS), Fort Pierce station, for May 28, 2026.

ON THE WATER: That one p.m. low of -0.2 feet is the number to watch. A negative low tide drains the Indian River Lagoon's shallower grass flats faster than a standard low, concentrating baitfish — and the predators that follow them — in the deeper channel edges near the Fort Pierce Inlet. Snook and redfish key on that moving water as the tide begins its evening push toward the 7:33 p.m. high of 2.8 feet. Work a live pilchard or a paddle-tail soft plastic along the south jetty structure during the two-hour window on either side of the incoming tide, roughly three to five p.m., for the best shot at the afternoon bite.
