Stuart's 0.3-Foot Low Tide Boosts Friday Fishing

TODAY: Friday brings a classic mixed semi-diurnal tide cycle to the Stuart area, with tidal data for March 27, 2026, from NOAA CO-OPS (Stuart gauge).

TIDE SCHEDULE — STUART, MARCH 27, 2026 All predictions from NOAA CO-OPS.

- High tide: 4:11 AM — 2.8 ft - Low tide: 10:27 AM — 0.3 ft - High tide: 4:30 PM — 2.4 ft - Low tide: 10:40 PM — -0.0 ft

ON THE WATER

The morning low at 10:27 AM drops to just 0.3 ft, creating a concentrated outgoing-tide window that focuses bait and predator fish along channel edges and mangrove points in the St. Lucie River and Hobe Sound areas. Anglers targeting snook, redfish and trout should plan to be on the water by 8 AM to work the falling tide through the low. The afternoon high at 4:30 PM — running slightly lower than the morning high at 2.4 ft — offers a second window for shoreline access and incoming-tide action.

FOR BOATERS

Mariners drawing more than two feet should use caution over shallow grass flats and sandbars surrounding the St. Lucie Inlet between 8 AM and noon as the tide bottoms out. The overnight low at 10:40 PM reads -0.0 ft According to available information,, the lowest point of the day. Public ramp access is available at Phipps Park (St. Lucie River) and Sandsprit Park near the inlet. Check Martin County Parks for current ramp conditions. Bait and tackle are available at nearby shops along SE Ocean Boulevard in Stuart.

The best action window Friday is the two-hour run either side of the 10:27 AM low, with the St. Lucie Inlet and adjacent flats offering the strongest tidal movement of the day.
