Which fish look best today at Fort Pierce
The same day scores differently for each fish: water temperature, wind, tide and seas count differently for a snook than for a sheepshead. Today’s read for Fort Pierce, species by species.
Best bet: Snook.
- Snook86Prime
80°F water is right in the snook range.
Better Wed: 93
- Redfish85Prime
80°F water is right in the redfish range.
Wind: 9 mph N, gusts 17
Better Tue: 91
Where to look
Oyster bars, grass flats and mangrove shorelines; they push shallow on a rising tide.
Best redfish spots today → - Spotted seatrout82Prime
80°F water is a little warm for trout; the bite starts to ease. Still warming, which pushes it further past the range.

Better Wed: 89
Where to look
Grass flats and pothole edges; deeper holes and canals when it's cold.
Best trout spots today → - Sheepshead68Good
80°F water is warm for sheepshead. Fish early, late and where current moves. Still warming, which pushes it further past the range.

Scores conditions for each fish, not where they are or when a run starts. Water temperature is today’s reading applied to the whole week, so a cold front further out won’t show here until the water follows. Temperature ranges are rules of thumb for Florida inshore water; the snook range is from published research.
About Fort Pierce Inlet
Fort Pierce Inlet is a deep, hard-running cut with jetties on both sides and a state park on the north — one of the most reliable land-based snook, tarpon and redfish spots on the Treasure Coast, and a well-known surf break when a swell wraps in. The current sweeps bait through in a hurry, which is what concentrates the fish and also what makes the inlet unforgiving when an outgoing tide meets an east wind. It is the closest inlet to some genuinely good nearshore reef.
What this camera is good for
- Whether the inlet is boatable or standing up
- Surf at the inlet break
- How hard and which way the tide is running
- Sunrise over the jetties

Common questions
- Is the Fort Pierce Inlet camera live?
- Yes — it streams on the operator's own site, and the link on this page always opens whichever stream is currently running.
- Does it cost anything to watch?
- No. Salty Forecast is completely free — no ads, no account, no paid tier, and nothing on this page is behind a sign-up.
- What are the tides at Fort Pierce today?
- Today's high and low tide times for Fort Pierce are on the tide chart page, drawn from the NOAA station at Fort Pierce Inlet, south jetty. Tide state changes what the beach looks like on camera — at low water the beach is at its widest.
- Why does the camera look hazy or dark?
- Live cameras sit outdoors: rain on the lens, salt spray, fog and low light all affect the picture. Night views are lit only by whatever is nearby. If the feed is down entirely, that is the operator's camera rather than this page — the conditions above still update.
