Which fish look best today at Sebastian Inlet
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 Sebastian In., species by species.

78°F water is a little warm for sheepshead; the bite starts to ease.
Where to look
Pilings, docks, oyster bars and rock — anything that grows barnacles.
Best sheepshead spots today →
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 Sebastian Inlet
Sebastian Inlet cuts the barrier island between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic, and its north jetty is legendary on two counts: the snook fishing off those rocks is as good as land-based fishing gets in Florida, and First Peak just north of the jetty is the most famous wave on the east coast. The state park covers both sides, so access stays open and free of development. Redfish, jacks, Spanish mackerel and tarpon all run the inlet, and the lagoon side holds trout and reds over grass.
What this camera is good for
- Surf at First Peak before making the drive
- How hard the inlet is running and which way
- Whether the jetty is fishable or getting washed
- Sunrise over the inlet
This host serves refreshing stills from six angles rather than continuous video, and has no fixed image address to pull from — so it opens in a new tab.

Common questions
- Is the Sebastian 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 Sebastian Inlet today?
- Today's high and low tide times for Sebastian Inlet are on the tide chart page, drawn from the NOAA station at Sebastian Inlet bridge. 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.
