TODAY: Wednesday brings a strong tidal swing to Stuart, with a near-zero low tide at midday creating ideal conditions for wade fishing, flats exploration, and shelling along exposed sandbars.

TONIGHT: The evening high tide of 2.9 feet — the largest of the day — peaks at 6:36 p.m., pushing baitfish and snook tight into mangrove edges and dock pilings as light fades.

THIS WEEK: Tidal ranges this week follow a semi-diurnal pattern typical of late May on the Treasure Coast, with mixed highs and lows through the weekend. Anglers and beachgoers should monitor daily updates from NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services as the pattern shifts.

ON THE WATER: The 12:02 p.m. low — reading -0.0 feet — is as flat as the tide gets. That near-dead-low window, roughly 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will drain grass flats and oyster bars along the St. Lucie River, stacking redfish and flounder in the deeper trough edges. Work a live shrimp or a quarter-ounce jig along the drop where the flat meets the channel for the best action before the flood tide rebuilds heading into the evening high.

ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Martin County at time of publication, according to NOAA data.
