Fort Pierce Tides for Sunday, June 1: A Strong Evening High Sets Up a Prime Morning Window

The single most unusual number in Sunday's Fort Pierce tide schedule is the afternoon low: negative 0.1 feet at 3:38 p.m. That figure, drawn from NOAA CO-OPS predictions for the Fort Pierce gauge, means the water will drop fractionally below mean lower low water — a shallow-flat condition that catches boaters off guard and exposes oyster bars in the Indian River Lagoon that are normally submerged.

TODAY: Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of afternoon thunderstorms typical of the opening days of rainy season. High near 89°F.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy and warm. Low near 76°F. The evening high tide of 2.8 feet arrives at 10:14 p.m., the strongest of the day.

THIS WEEK: June's first full week brings the Treasure Coast firmly into rainy season. Expect afternoon storm chances of 40–50% daily, with morning windows generally clear. No significant pattern breaks through midweek.

ON THE WATER: - Low: 3:45 a.m. — 0.3 ft - High: 9:35 a.m. — 2.2 ft - Low: 3:38 p.m. — −0.1 ft - High: 10:14 p.m. — 2.8 ft

The morning window between the 3:45 a.m. low and the 9:35 a.m. high is the pick of the day for anglers and boaters. An incoming tide through the Fort Pierce Inlet during early morning hours will push baitfish and snook into predictable feeding lanes. Officials said The negative afternoon low is the caution flag: anyone transiting shallow cuts in the lagoon or near the inlet's secondary channels between roughly 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. should check draft clearance carefully, according to NOAA CO-OPS data.

The evening high of 2.8 feet — a full 0.6 feet above the morning high — will give paddlers and light-draft vessels a second viable window after sunset, though afternoon storm activity should clear before then.

ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for St. Lucie County as of this report. Officials said
