Sebastian Inlet Tide Schedule: Saturday, May 30

The inlet gives and takes on its own clock. Saturday at Sebastian, the clock favors the angler.

TODAY: Partly cloudy skies typical of late-May rainy season. A 40% chance of afternoon thunderstorms is common this time of year. Highs near 88°F.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy and warm. Low near 76°F.

THIS WEEK: The rainy season is firmly established on the Treasure Coast. Expect afternoon storm chances to persist through the coming week, generally building after noon and clearing by evening.

ON THE WATER: Saturday's tide cycle at Sebastian Inlet is the headline. A morning high of 2.2 feet peaks at 8:40 a.m. — prime time for snook and tarpon stacking on the incoming push near the jetty rocks. The day's most significant moment arrives at 2:53 p.m., when the afternoon low drops to minus 0.1 feet, a negative tide that exposes structure and concentrates bait tight against the south jetty. Work a live pilchard or a paddle tail swimbait along the bottom in the 2:00–3:30 p.m. window for your best shot at slot snook before the evening flood rebuilds. The evening high of 2.9 feet — the day's strongest — crests at 9:21 p.m., pushing bait back through the cut and triggering a second feeding window after dark.

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