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 May 14, 2026.

The rain is gone and its a beautiful still morning on the dock.  Fish jumping, birds flying, but there is a low energy to everything.  It seems still as the breeze is slight and all is quiet.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Time: 8 AM

Air Temperature: 74°F - high of 84

Humidity: 92%

Wind Direction & Speed: Northwest around 8 MPH

Tide Stage: High at 8:30 AM and Low around 3:30 PM

Water Conditions: Calm and flat with good water clarity.

General Observations:

It always seems like it takes a bit after a few days of rain for normalcy to return.  I'm sure the birds hunker down during the storms and then they have to shake off the wet.  Do some nest repair and then head out for some fresh chow.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Wash vehicles at a commercial car wash when possible.

Commercial facilities typically treat and recycle water, while driveway washing can send soap, oil, and grime into storm drains that flow toward the lagoon.

 

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

I didn't have time to fish this morning but 1 neighbor told me he had 1 good hit in 20 minutes of fishing.  You can see ladyfish breaking the surface but the mullet seem quiet so far today.

 

🌊 Indian River Lagoon Spotlight

Featured Organization: Brevard Zoo's Restore Our Shores Program

Restore Our Shores, led by Brevard Zoo, helps protect the Indian River Lagoon through oyster reef restoration, clam seeding projects, shoreline rehabilitation, and hands-on volunteer opportunities throughout the Space Coast region.

 

Healthy oyster reefs naturally filter water and provide habitat for marine life, making restoration efforts an important part of improving lagoon health.

 

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Visit a neighborhood at different times of day before buying.

A peaceful street at noon can feel very different during morning traffic, school pickup, or weekend evenings. Spend time in the area at multiple times to get a true sense of the neighborhood rhythm.
