Good Morning from Sebastian Florida
Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your first daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Thursday, February 26, 2026.
I was out early this morning as I had a 9 AM meeting but I didn't need a coat for the first time in 3 days! It was already in the high 50s but there is absolutely no wind. The lagoon looks like a bathtub.
🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions
Air Temperature: 57°F
Wind Direction & Speed: None
Tide Stage: Dropping to Low
Water Clarity: Nice and clear
Overall Conditions: Like a calm bathtub
Yesterday we had an offshore or westerly breeze and that always produces low turbidity in the water so it clears up. This morning it was dead calm. I'm writing this after lunch and it has shifted to the south which is our warmest breeze and also produces good water clarity.
🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings
Grouchy the blue heron is in today's film as he was peacefully sitting on the dock I trespassed on yesterday. I also filmed the dock so you can see what I wrote about yesterday. Grouch is called such as he likes our dock the best but we have the most traffic and when you come on the dock he flies away and squawks at you every time. I did it once late at night when I walked down there and I almost had a stroke.
When the water is this calm and clear even the slightest fish jump make sound you can hear. Gentle and soft but then the ripples radiate for minutes. It's beautiful.
🌊 Indian River Lagoon Insight
I love seeing the water so clear. It makes me want to get involved with the clam restoration projects in the Indian River. I reached out to them yesterday and told them I'd like to volunteer, so we'll see where that goes. I love the lagoon and it lifestyle and want to see it flourish for generations to come.
On the volunteer forefront. If you are in town check out the Friends of The St. Sebastian River. They hold lots of great clean up events and educational seminars. Plus, their website is a great resource for rules and regs in the county concerning fertilizer use, septic tanks, anything that ultimately effects the river and therefore the lagoon.
