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 Monday March 13, 2026.
A strong southern breeze today and you can feel the moisture in the air. This trade wind is carrying moisture up the entire eastern seaboard and a cold front from the west is making record breaking show in the mid west. Sorry! But it's going to change here tonight into tomorrow too. For a day or so.
It's spring break season in south Florida. Sebastian is not a hot spot for the college kids, a few hours south is another story, but there are certainly more people around and many with high school aged kids.
🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions
Air Temperature: 73°F
Wind Direction & Speed: South at 15-20 MPH
Tide Stage: High at 9 AM
Water Clarity: Cloudy from all the wind
Overall Conditions: Choppy with occasional white caps cresting. A south wind is always our warmest wind.
🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings
With all the wind things are pretty quiet. I threw the cast net 6 times and only caught 1 pinfish. I did see some mullet jumping but they are bigger now and don't seem to hide under our dock as much.
I had 1 pole in the water with a dead shrimp on it and I never got any action I could detect. Lost some shrimp but that's OK.
On my casting pole I have a jig that one of my neighbors here made me last October. I tip it with a piece of shrimp and I did get 1 decent hit on it close to the dock. Seemed like a jack or ladyfish. Something dart fast with teeth!
🌊 Indian River Lagoon Insight
It's amazing how different the lagoon is every day. The water level in the lagoon, the clarity, the wind speed and direction, etc. One of the great things about lagoon life is that it is different all the time if you watch it. The beach is pretty much the beach every day. And I'm glad for that so when I want some beach time I can go get some but I love watching the river change daily. Endlessly fascinating to me.
