TODAY: Expect typical late-May conditions on the Treasure Coast — warm, humid and partly cloudy with afternoon storm chances. Plan around the tides.

TONIGHT: Overnight low tide arrives at 11:42 p.m., pulling water down to 0.4 feet. Expect warm, muggy conditions.

THIS WEEK: The early weeks of rainy season bring afternoon convective storms as normal activity. Monitor NWS Melbourne at mlb.weather.gov daily for any watches or advisories as storm activity increases through the week.

ON THE WATER: Monday's tide cycle at Sebastian Inlet is the story of the day. A morning high at 4:44 a.m. (2.5 feet) drains to a near-zero low of just 0.1 feet at 11:11 a.m. — one of the sharpest tidal drops the inlet produces. That outgoing current will stack baitfish tight against the south jetty rocks as water funnels through the cut. Target snook and jack crevalle on live pilchards or a DOA paddle tail worked along the jetty face between nine a.m. and the low. The afternoon flood tide recharges to 2.6 feet by 5:26 p.m., making the evening the second productive window for permit and redfish on the flats inside.

ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Indian River County as of this forecast. Conditions can change rapidly during rainy season — check NWS Melbourne for updates before heading out.

Tide predictions are issued by NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) for Sebastian Inlet, Indian River County.
