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 Tuesday May 5, 2026.

A pretty morning with the winds light to start the day.  They will pick up as the day goes on but the humidity has returned and there's no where to go but towards summer from here.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Time: 10:30 AM

Air Temperature: 74°F

Humidity: 82%

Wind Direction & Speed: East at 2-5 MPH

Tide Stage: Low at 7:30 AM and High around 1 PM


Water Clarity: Clear

Water Conditions: Clear and calm but it will get wind whipped as the day goes on.

General Observations:

Boat traffic is steady on the river but during the summer months it is certainly lower during the week.  We still get lots of people coming to Sebastian in the summer but more on the weekends to come fishing.  Sunday on the stirp is busy all summer long as the Melbourne and surrounding Harley crowd rolls into Earl's etc.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Secure loose items before storms or strong winds.

Outdoor furniture, kayaks, and dock gear can quickly become hazards during sudden weather changes. A few minutes of prep can prevent damage to your property—and your neighbors’.

 

 

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

I caught my first invasive species.  This is the pond across from the restaurant and on my first cast I hooked a fish.  Didn't land it but on the 6th or 7th cast I caught this Nile Tilapia!

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Check rental and HOA restrictions before you buy.

If there’s any chance you’ll rent the property—seasonally or long-term—review HOA rules and local ordinances. Some communities limit rentals or require minimum lease periods.
