Bermuda Biological Station Daily Water Report — September 7, 2026

Wildlife watching and diving own the day around Bermuda Biological Station, sailing sits close behind, and kayaking is the one to leave if you have a choice. That is the call for 7 September: work the high scores, treat boating as only fair, and do not confuse a decent card with a glassy one. A representative northeasterly around 12 knots, gusting near 17, has already backed off a 28.8-knot hit at midnight. Open-Meteo’s marine forecast keeps waves in a tight 1.1–1.4 meter band, calmest near 08:00 at 1.12 meters with a short 6.25-second period; swell is 0.72 meters from the west, wind waves almost a rumor, and a 0.4 m/s current sets east-northeast. CoastWatch puts sea-surface temperature at 29 C, 1.6 C above average. Ashore it is humid and dim: air near 26 C, 83 percent cloud, drizzle in the window from midnight to midnight though the representative total is only 0.1 mm, atmospheric visibility about 7.7 km, and UV essentially gone. Pressure is 1014 hPa and rising. The useful stretch is after the 06:58 sunrise through late morning. Seas bottom out near 08:00, the first solunar major runs 09:21–11:21, and NOAA’s low of 0.10 m arrives at 11:43—the mix wildlife scoring actually uses (solunar, low-tide proximity, wind). Diving’s 8.4 leans on the same moderate wind and waves plus the warm water. Fishing’s 7 likes that solunar-tide-pressure package. Surfing holds 7.2 on the modest west swell; sailing’s 8.2 likes the breeze even under the gray. Kayaking at 5.1 and boating at 6 feel the wind, chop, current, and all-day rain more than the rest of the card. Diving has been the week’s steady high mark, barely up from yesterday’s 8.1. Wildlife is the jump from a 5 yesterday. Kayaking has sat in the mid-4s to low-5s since winds built after 3 September. Tomorrow looks wetter (86 percent rain chance) with similar 1.0–1.3 m seas. By the 10th–11th, waves ease and peak winds drop. Best bet: take the late-morning low with the 09:21 solunar major for wildlife and a dive, and save the paddle for midweek’s quieter water.
