Today on the water at Sebastian
Today at Sebastian: high tide at 2:25 AM (0.4 ft) and 3:15 PM (0.4 ft), low tide at 9:26 AM (0.2 ft) and 10:07 PM (0.4 ft). The National Weather Service forecast for today is showers and thunderstorms likely with ENE winds 15 to 20 mph, 82°F. Wind that strong can hold water in or push it out, so the real tide may run above or below these predictions. In effect now: Small Craft Advisory. Sunrise is at 7:31 AM and sunset at 6:39 PM.

Where Sebastian is
Sebastian sits at 27.8117° N, 80.4633° W on Florida's Atlantic coast, at Sebastian, FL. The station here is a subordinate tide prediction point. NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Port Canaveral (Trident Pier) (NOAA 8721604), 42.5 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 168 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Sebastian Municipal Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 2.0 mi away.
The tide at Sebastian
Sebastian has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 0.4 ft, and 0.3 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. For the water around it: Florida's Atlantic tides are semidiurnal, two highs and two lows a day, with ranges of 2 to 5 ft that shrink inside the lagoons.
About this station
- High tide reaches Sebastian about 2.7 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 2.3 ft on Oct 19, 1973.
- Lowest on record: -1.3 ft on Mar 5, 1970.
- NOAA predicts tides here from Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance, station 8723178. High tide comes about 92 min later and low tide about 156 min later than there.
- High tide heights run about 0.15 times the reference.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Sebastian from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 0.5 ft above it and mean sea level 0.2 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.1 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Miami Beach, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8722029, established 1969, gauge removed 1973. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.

🌊 Biggest flood tides at Sebastian this month: Oct 8, Oct 9, Oct 10, Oct 11, Oct 12, Oct 25, Oct 26, Oct 27, Oct 28, Oct 29. These spring highs push water up into the grass and over the oyster rock; prime for poling into flooded marsh for tailing reds.
🔻 Negative (minus) low tides at Sebastian this month: Oct 27, Oct 28. These drain the flats and expose the oyster rock, prime for sight-fishing and clamming.
Best fishing times (solunar)
Major and minor solunar windows for Sebastian, peak feeding activity is around the moon overhead/underfoot (majors) and moonrise/moonset (minors). Score is the day's activity coefficient (0–100).
