A 2.5-foot high tide crests at 2:04 a.m. Monday, well before most Treasure Coast residents are awake — setting up a productive morning low that bottoms out at just 0.2 feet by 8:28 a.m., NOAA tidal data shows.

That morning low is the headline for anyone heading out on the water. Shallow-draft anglers and kayakers on the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon will find exposed grass flats and concentrated baitfish near channel edges during the outgoing tide. Plan to launch by 6:30 a.m. to work the falling water. The best two hours typically land on either side of dead low.

The afternoon cycle brings a second high of 2.4 feet at 2:41 p.m., followed by an evening low of 0.4 feet at 8:50 p.m. That late low gives wade fishermen a second crack at the flats after the midday heat breaks, forecasters note.

ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings or advisories were in effect for Martin County at time of publication. Officials said

TODAY'S WATER NOTES: The tidal range Monday is roughly 2.3 feet — a moderate swing. Boaters navigating the shallow approaches to Manatee Pocket and Peck Lake should time their passes around the morning high. The 8:28 a.m. low leaves little margin in spots that shoal to under a foot, NOAA CO-OPS data indicates.

All tide times are local. Conditions at the Roosevelt Bridge gauge in Stuart.
