ON THE WATER: Tuesday's tide cycle at Fort Pierce runs a clean semi-diurnal pattern with two highs and two lows. The first low tide hits at 1:31 a.m. at minus 0.2 feet, followed by the morning high at 7:50 a.m. at 2.7 feet — the best window for boaters clearing the inlet and anglers working the flats on a rising flood. The afternoon low returns at 1:56 p.m. at minus 0.2 feet, briefly exposing shallow grass beds and oyster bars. The evening high arrives at 8:08 p.m. at 2.7 feet. That negative low reading means extra caution near the Fort Pierce Inlet's shoal edges and any shallow dock approaches around midday. The morning flood tide, from roughly 1:30 a.m. through 7:50 a.m., is the prime fishing window for snook, redfish and tarpon staging near structure.
