Stuart Tide Guide: Saturday, June 13, 2026

Saturday's tide cycle off Stuart delivers four clean turning points that should shape every angler's, paddler's, and beachgoer's plan for the day.

TODAY: The morning low — just 0.1 feet at 12:50 a.m. — will already be flooding by sunrise, pushing toward a 2.7-foot high at 6:38 a.m. That rising tide is prime time. Snook and tarpon push onto the flats with the incoming water, and the early light keeps boat traffic thin. Plan your launch accordingly.

MIDDAY: By 12:52 p.m., the tide drops to near-zero at the trough — the lowest point of the day — exposing grass flats and oyster bars along the St. Lucie River. Shallow-draft boaters should be off the flats before noon. Waders and kayakers can work the exposed structure, but watch footing on slick bottom.

TONIGHT: The day's biggest water movement arrives at the evening high: 3.4 feet at 7:31 p.m., the strongest tide of this cycle, according to NOAA CO-OPS data. That surge will push bait deep into the backcountry, and the last hour of incoming tide — roughly 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. — could be the best fishing window of the entire day.

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