Tide Schedule: Sebastian Inlet — Tuesday, June 9

A 2.4-foot high tide will push through Sebastian Inlet at 3:43 a.m. Tuesday — while most anglers are still in their bunks — setting up a falling tide that bottoms out at just 0.1 feet by mid-morning.

TODAY: The day's best conditions build toward the afternoon. The second high tide arrives at 4:29 p.m., reaching 2.5 feet — the stronger of Tuesday's two highs and the prime window for fishing the inlet's edges as water floods back in.

TONIGHT: The tide falls through the evening hours, reaching a near-zero low of 0.3 feet at 10:43 p.m. Expect slack water at the inlet around that time, with current picking back up after midnight.

THIS WEEK: Tuesday's tidal range — roughly 2.4 feet between high and low — reflects typical early-June patterns for Indian River County's Atlantic coast. Anglers targeting snook and redfish along the inlet's north jetty should plan around the morning falling tide (post-10:10 a.m. low) or the afternoon flood (building toward 4:29 p.m.), according to NOAA CO-OPS data.

ON THE WATER: The 10:10 a.m. low creates the morning's strongest outgoing current — a known producer for snook staged in the inlet's throat waiting on baitfish. The afternoon flood beginning after 4:29 p.m. brings cooler, saltier water in from the Atlantic, activating structure along both jetties. Plan your launch from Sebastian Inlet State Park accordingly.

ALERTS: No active National Weather Service watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Indian River County at the time of publication.
