Stuart Tide Guide: Thursday, June 4, 2026

TODAY: Four tidal cycles shape Thursday on the St. Lucie River and the waters off Stuart. Plan your day around them.

TIDES (Stuart / NOAA CO-OPS): — Low: 5:28 a.m. — 0.5 ft — High: 11:20 a.m. — 2.2 ft — Low: 5:20 p.m. — 0.2 ft — High: 11:56 p.m. — 2.7 ft

ON THE WATER: The morning low at 5:28 a.m. sets up a strong incoming tide through the early hours — one of the best fishing windows of the day as water floods the flats and pushes baitfish into creek mouths and under the Roosevelts and bridge structure. By 11:20 a.m., the high reaches 2.2 feet, giving boaters comfortable draft through the shoals near the St. Lucie Inlet.

The afternoon low is the number to watch: 0.2 feet at 5:20 p.m. This near-zero reading will strand the unwary in skinny water along the Indian River Lagoon grass flats. Kayakers and shallow-draft skiff captains should be off the flats well before 4 p.m. or wait for the evening flood.

The overnight high at 11:56 p.m. climbs to 2.7 feet — the strongest high of the day — good news for night anglers targeting snook along lit docks in the Stuart area.

ALERTS: No active National Weather Service watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Martin County, NOAA data shows.
