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 March 12, 2026.

Man is it hot and still in the morning!  Early in the day when the land and the water are the same temp the winds don't blow.  As the day gets going that changes and produces onshore winds that are a life saver in Florida.  This is all in absence of fronts blowing through but the normal hydrological cycle of the area.  Yes, this is a repeat of yesterday!

 

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Air Temperature: 81°F
Wind Direction & Speed: SouthEast at 0-2 MPH
Tide Stage: dropping to low at 12:30 AM
Water Clarity: Clear with all the calm.
Overall Conditions: Like a bath tub

 

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

The birds are busy from osprey to pelicans to seagulls.  The lagoon seems to be brimming with life.  All of the tiny bait fish have gotten larger and the predators have moved in.

My buddy on the dock this morning caught a sea trout which I didn't get to see.  We used to have lots of those in here but they are fairly rare any more.  They like grass beds and those have shrunk substantially in the lagoon over the past years.  There are many trying to bring them back and hopefully the corner has been turned and we'll see more and more seagrass.

 

🌊 Indian River Lagoon Insight

It's going to get a bit soggy for the weekend and the clouds are moving in.  A 20% chance of rain this afternoon and then we get up into the 60-70% range.  We can use the rain so bring it on.  Hopefully it will help some of the freeze damaged foliage to green up!
