Sebastian Inlet Hits Double Low Tides Below Zero Wednesday

TODAY: Dry-season conditions continue across Indian River County, with Sebastian Inlet seeing a favorable four-tide cycle for anglers, beachgoers and boaters Wednesday.

Tide predictions for Sebastian Inlet on March 18, 2026:

Low tide: 2:58 a.m. — -0.2 ft. High tide: 9:06 a.m. — 2.7 ft. Low tide: 3:19 p.m. — -0.2 ft. High tide: 9:29 p.m. — 2.9 ft.

ON THE WATER: Both lows dip slightly below mean lower low water at -0.2 ft., exposing sandbars and creating strong tidal flows through the inlet — excellent conditions for snook and redfish on the moving tide. The morning incoming push from low (2:58 a.m.) to high (9:06 a.m.) offers a productive early bite window. The afternoon outgoing run from high (9:06 a.m.) through the 3:19 p.m. low is equally fishable. Small-craft operators should account for strong current through the inlet channel around both tide peaks.

BEACH ACCESS: Minus tides widen the beach apron at the inlet, providing good footing for surf casters working the south jetty in the afternoon hours.

ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Indian River County at this time. According to available information,
