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 May 4, 2026.

The wind is back.  Considering I've been working outside a good bit, I'm OK with it.  Saturday almost killed me working outside in 90+ degree temps.  Much better today as far as I'm concerned.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Time: 9 AM

Air Temperature: 73°F - high of 77

Humidity: 80%

Wind Direction & Speed: Northeast at 15+ MPH

Tide Stage: Low at 7 AM and High around 12:30 PM


Water Clarity: Cloudy from all the wind

Water Conditions: Choppy with occasional white caps cresting.

General Observations:

This fish are hiding but a few osprey are diving on them over me!

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Use native plants in your landscaping.

Native vegetation requires less fertilizer and watering, which helps reduce nutrient runoff into the lagoon and supports local wildlife.

 

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

Just birds today.  Mainly the 2 Osprey pictured above.

 

🌊 Indian River Lagoon Spotlight

Featured Organization: The Indian River Lagoon Council

The Indian River Lagoon Council is a coalition of local governments and stakeholders working together to fund and implement projects that improve water quality and restore the lagoon. Through grants and regional collaboration, they help turn restoration plans into real, measurable action.

 

Their work supports everything from septic-to-sewer conversions to habitat restoration—making a long-term impact on lagoon health.

 

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Check the age and condition of big-ticket items.

Roofs, HVAC systems, and seawalls (if waterfront) can be major expenses. Knowing their age and remaining lifespan helps you avoid surprises and strengthens your negotiating position.
