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 Saturday, February 28, 2026. Let's call this the weekend report. Like Chick-fil-A, I'm taking tomorrow off!
Man oh man did it rain overnight! This is our dry season so we don't get much and all outdoor fires are prohibited right now because of it. Burn Ban!
🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions
Air Temperature: 71°F
Wind Direction & Speed: 10-15 MPH from the East (onshore).
Tide Stage: Dropping to Low
Water Clarity: A bit more cloudy than the previous 2 days
Overall Conditions: Choppy with waves forming as the wind sweeps across the lagoon.
A cool and damp morning even though it is 70 degrees. The 70 are a funny range of temps. There are warm 70s and cool ones, even if both register 75 on a thermometer. All about wind and sun exposure in the 70s.
🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings
I didn't get my net or pole in the water today but there were lots of birds around. Seagulls, which are rare over here in the lagoon, Grouch, the blue heron, Ibis flying overhead and they congregated on the beach some today. Maybe the rains flush some of the critters they eat out of the sea wrack on the beach. On a side note. That was my masters thesis. Bugs that eat decomposing seaweed on the beach. Catalina Island in southern California. CSUFullerton.
🌊 Indian River Lagoon Insight
Every day is so similar but yet different down here. Today is the bird show. Yesterday was fish bonanza. I love just listening the the wind and water with a distant boat thrown in. Luckily we don't get terrorized by jet skis down here. Most people are too mature to ride them in the area! Lagoon lifestyle is pontoon boats and small cabin cruisers, with lots of john boats thrown in. It's chill around here.
🏡 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!
