Today on the water at Stuart
Today at Stuart: high tide at 3:06 AM (1.1 ft) and 3:56 PM (1.2 ft), low tide at 10:20 AM (0.3 ft) and 11:01 PM (0.7 ft). The National Weather Service forecast for today is chance rain showers with E winds 15 to 20 mph, 83°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: Coastal Flood Advisory, Rip Current Statement and High Surf Advisory. Sunrise is at 7:29 AM and sunset at 6:39 PM.
| Period | Forecast | Wind | Temp |

Where Stuart is
Stuart sits at 27.2000° N, 80.2583° W on Florida's Atlantic coast, at Stuart, FL, in Martin County. 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 Lake Worth Pier (ocean) (NOAA 8722670), 42.9 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 198 min later than there.
The tide at Stuart
Stuart has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.1 ft, and 0.9 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.1 ft below the other low. 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 Stuart about 3.4 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: 3.2 ft on Oct 31, 1969.
- Lowest on record: -1.0 ft on Dec 31, 1969.
- NOAA predicts tides here from Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance, station 8723178. High tide comes about 133 min later and low tide about 210 min later than there.
- High tide heights run about 0.40 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 Stuart from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.1 ft above it and mean sea level 0.5 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.4 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 8722357, established 1969, gauge removed 1970. 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 Stuart 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 Stuart 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 Stuart, peak feeding activity is around the moon overhead/underfoot (majors) and moonrise/moonset (minors). Score is the day's activity coefficient (0–100).
