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 Wednesday June 17, 2026.

A big day today for some volunteer time with ORCA.  I ran down to the living shoreline in town to start the day with a little trash pickup and then out to the Inlet State Park!  Check out the video of that park from my park series here.  

ORCA is doing a shoreline stabilization and regeneration project in conjunction with the Sebastian Inlet District.  They are the people who keep the inlet open and navigable to boats.

Check their webcam of the inlet HERE.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Time: 9:0 AM

Air Temperature: 84°F

Humidity: 75%

Wind Direction & Speed: West at 10 MPH

Tide Stage: Low at 9 AM and High around 2 PM

Water Conditions: Beautiful over here at the cut.  We are on the backside of the super clear water at the boat ramp but still pretty water.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Watch the clouds over the mainland.

Summer thunderstorms often build inland before moving east. Learning to read the sky can help boaters, anglers, and paddlers stay safe while enjoying more time on the water.

 

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

Look at the gopher tortoises I ran into at the Inlet State Park.  Even 1 little baby!

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Think about maintenance before you fall in love with a property.

That giant yard, elaborate landscaping, dock, pool, or seawall may look fantastic, but each comes with ongoing costs and upkeep. Understanding the maintenance commitment can help ensure the property fits your lifestyle as well as your budget.
