Sebastian Inlet Tide Schedule: Friday, May 29

TODAY: Expect typical late-May conditions on the Treasure Coast — warm, humid, with a 50–60% chance of afternoon thunderstorms building inland before pushing to the coast by late afternoon Officials said.

TONIGHT: Warm and muggy with the evening high tide cresting at 8:39 p.m. Low temperatures likely in the mid-70s Officials said.

THIS WEEK: A standard rainy-season pattern is expected to hold through the weekend. Afternoon convective storms remain the primary threat daily. Monitor NWS Melbourne advisories for any organized disturbance activity.

ON THE WATER: Sebastian Inlet sees four tidal cycles Friday, NOAA CO-OPS data shows. The morning high reaches 2.3 feet at 7:57 a.m., followed by a near-zero low of -0.0 feet at 2:12 p.m. — a tidal drop of roughly 2.3 feet over six hours. That steep gradient pushes fast, clean water through the inlet's narrow cut through mid-afternoon, concentrating bait against the north and south jetties. Work a live finger mullet or a white bucktail jig tight to the north jetty rocks during the 1–3 p.m. outgoing window for snook staging in the current seam. The day's strongest tide, a 2.8-foot high, arrives at 8:39 p.m. — flounder and redfish move shallow on that push.

ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Indian River County at time of publication.
