Stuart Tide Guide: June 1, 2026

TODAY: The single most useful number on the water this Monday is minus 0.0 feet — a near-zero low tide arriving at 3:21 p.m. at Stuart, one of the flattest afternoon ebbs of the early season, according to NOAA CO-OPS tidal data. That bottomed-out water level will briefly expose flats, concentrate baitfish and give anglers and waders an unusually productive window along the St. Lucie River and nearby Indian River Lagoon shorelines before the evening flood pushes back in.

The day opens with a modest low of 0.4 feet at 3:29 a.m., rising to a morning high of 2.3 feet at 9:16 a.m. — workable conditions for early boat launches out of Stuart. The dominant tide of the day comes tonight: a 2.9-foot high at 9:56 p.m. will push strong current through the St. Lucie Inlet and refill the flats ahead of overnight.

ON THE WATER: The best fishing window falls in the two hours bracketing the 3:21 p.m. low. Snook and redfish characteristically stack on the down-tide edges of grass flats and around dock pilings during extreme low-water events. Morning anglers have a solid incoming tide to work off the 9:16 a.m. high. Officials said

ALERTS: No active National Weather Service watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Martin County at time of publication. Boaters should verify conditions with the National Weather Service Melbourne office at forecast.weather.gov before departure, as June 1 marks the official start of Atlantic hurricane season.
