Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Thursday April 30, 2026.

Another beautiful calm morning from the dock of Sebastian Saltwater.  The wind is out of the SW today and that means we are still and going to be warm.  Ehhhhh.  Come on sea breeze!

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

 

Time: 11 AM

Air Temperature: 78°F

Humidity: 69%

Wind Direction & Speed: Southwest at 5 MPH

Tide Stage: High at 10 AM and Low around 5 PM


Water Clarity: Clear and pretty

Water Conditions: Calm and will remain so all day today with the SW wind.

General Observations:

We had an exciting day at the restaurant yesterday.  Check out the video below of the gang from Just In Time boat and jet ski rentals carefully get a hold a pelican with a hook and fishing line in its wing.  They removed it and the pelican is in good health today.  A bit gun shy still but that will come.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Install a rain barrel to reduce runoff.

Capturing rainwater not only helps conserve water, but it also reduces the amount of nutrient-rich runoff flowing into the lagoon—helping protect water quality.

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Beach Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Pay attention to lot elevation and drainage.

Even within the same neighborhood, slight elevation differences can affect how water moves during heavy rains. A well-draining lot can save you from future headaches, especially in Florida’s rainy season.
