Stuart Tides Cycle Through Two Highs, Lows Friday

TODAY: Friday brings a classic mixed tidal pattern to the Stuart area, with two highs and two lows cycling through the day — useful information for anglers, boaters and beachgoers planning their Friday on the water.

TONIGHT: The final low of the cycle bottoms out late, keeping tidal exchange active through the overnight hours. Low temperature expected in the mid-60s.

THIS WEEK: No extended tidal pattern data is available beyond Friday's cycle. Boaters and anglers should consult updated NOAA CO-OPS predictions for the weekend window before heading out.

ON THE WATER: Friday's first high tide peaks at 2.3 feet at 4:30 a.m. — the strongest of the day and the prime early-morning window for fishing the incoming flood. The morning low follows at 10:42 a.m. (0.7 feet), offering good bottom exposure for waders and shore anglers working the flats. The afternoon high arrives at 4:35 p.m. (2.0 feet), with the overnight low bottoming at just 0.3 feet at 10:47 p.m. — the shallowest water of the day. Best fishing windows are the early-morning flood tide and the afternoon incoming push ahead of the 4:35 p.m. high.

ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Martin County at this time.
