Stuart Tides Drop to -0.1 Feet Twice on March 17

TODAY: Tidal conditions favor an early start on the water Tuesday, with Stuart's first high tide of the day cresting at 2.8 feet at 7:36 a.m.

TONIGHT: The evening high tide reaches 2.8 feet at 7:54 p.m., offering a second usable window for late-day activity.

THIS WEEK: Tuesday's tidal range is moderate, with both low tides dipping to minus 0.1 feet — a negative low that will expose oyster bars and shallow flats. Boaters and kayakers should plan routes carefully around the 1:19 a.m. and 1:43 p.m. lows. According to available information,

ON THE WATER: The morning high at 7:36 a.m. is the prime fishing window. Negative lows concentrate fish along channel edges and drop-offs. Anglers targeting snook, redfish and trout should work the incoming tide before the morning peak. The afternoon low at 1:43 p.m. creates a second opportunity on the outgoing tide for those who can read structure. Shallow-draft vessels should avoid marked shoals during both low-tide windows.

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