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 Friday, February 27, 2026.
I was out early this morning as I had to come see the fog that set in overnight. The humidity is back to something close to normal at 70+ percent this AM and it looks like Loch Ness across the lagoon! Then I came back for a fun morning of fishing with one of my neighbors.
🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions
Air Temperature: 71°F
Wind Direction & Speed: 5 MPH from the south and occasionally the west.
Tide Stage: Dropping to Low
Water Clarity: A bit more cloudy than the previous 2 days
Overall Conditions: A slight ripple on the water surface
Partly cloudy skies are making it hard for the sun to burn off the marine layer but I'm sure it will occur as the weather person says we are going to reach into the 80s today. There is a chance of afternoon thundershowers which is more like a summer weather pattern around here. We could use it as there is a burn ban county wide now due to the risk of forest fires.
🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings
Lots of activity today. I caught a pinfish on my 7 AM journey to the dock. Now I'm back at 9 and have 2 poles in the water and using the cast net too. It's fun catching the fun little yellow finned croakers. I caught 1 and used it for bait for 30 minutes and then when I was done I took it off the hook and put it back in the water to watch it swim away. I always wonder what the fish go tell their friends when they get back together about their day!
I also caught a puffer fish. What amazing creatures.

🌊 Indian River Lagoon Insight
Its great to see the lagoon so vibrant with wildlife and people. A group of 25 kayakers paddled by today. 3 people from my complex when paddle boarding. My neighbor came out to fish with me. It was a regular group meeting on the dock today. That is lagoon lifestyle!
🏡 Sebastian & Vero Beach Real Estate Update
The market is strong here as Indian River county is one of the more affordable places left in Florida that has water access. It's not over built and it's not over crowded. You can live in Sebastian FL from the 200s or you can spend 2 million and head out to the island. Well priced properties move quickly, especially during the season like we are in now. Come on down and we'll go fishing or play golf, or go to the beach. All are within 15 minutes of where I am standing!
