Bermuda Biological Station Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

Today is a stellar day for divers around the Bermuda Biological Station, with a diving suitability score of 9.2 out of 10 leading the pack. The ocean is calm, with wave heights around 0.52 meters and a steady sea surface temperature of 29.5°C. Visibility might be a bit of a letdown above water at only 4.14 km, but underwater explorers will find the conditions near perfect for a plunge. Boaters will also find joy in today's conditions, scoring a solid 7.7. With gentle southern winds averaging 4 knots and gusts peaking at just 10.7 knots, it's a smooth ride out there. The tides are cooperative, with the high tide at 0.77 meters occurring at 17:25, offering a good window for setting sail in the late afternoon. On the other hand, surfers might find the day less thrilling, scoring 6.4. The swell is modest at 0.42 meters from the southeast, and wind waves are nearly non-existent, making it a day for beginners rather than thrill-seekers. Kayakers, scoring 6.8, can enjoy the gentle conditions as well, though they should be mindful of the potential for rain throughout the day. Fishing enthusiasts have a decent score of 6.5, with solunar activity peaking from 15:10 to 17:10, coinciding nicely with the late high tide. However, the moderate chlorophyll levels suggest normal coastal productivity, so patience may be required. Looking ahead, the weather remains relatively stable with a slight increase in wave heights expected over the coming days. By August 27, expect waves to rise to 1.1 meters, potentially exciting for surfers. Tomorrow's forecast shows slightly cooler temperatures and a higher chance of rain, so divers and boaters should plan accordingly. Best bet for today: Dive into the crystal-clear waters and enjoy the serene underwater world that Bermuda has to offer.
