St. Georges Island Daily Water Report — October 6, 2026

St. George’s Island gets a qualified green light today: sailing is the standout at 8.5/10, while diving remains worthwhile at 7.3/10, but the breezier, lumpier water makes this a step down from the notably gentler past few days. A WSW wind around 14 knots, gusting near 19, is doing most of the day’s editorial work. It gives sailors a proper breeze without an excessive gust spread, though the 0.8–1.1 m sea state and short 4.95-second wave period mean it will not feel glassy. Boating rates 6.4/10 and kayaking 6/10: both are workable for capable crews with a conservative route and timing, but neither gets the easy-going endorsement they earned under the lighter winds recorded October 3–5. The calmest wave height was near 0.82 m around midnight, so daylight users should expect more texture than that low point suggests. For anglers, the best organized window is the 9:00–11:00 AM solunar major period, which overlaps the late-morning ebb toward the 11:41 AM low tide. Fishing scores 6.5/10, essentially similar to yesterday’s 6.4, with falling pressure near 1014 hPa and the wind keeping conditions from becoming a full-on easy day. The evening high tide arrives at 6:06 PM, and the 9:00–11:00 PM major period offers another timing option after sunset, though it is naturally a different proposition from the morning. Divers have warm 27.9 C marine water and a 7.3/10 score, but should not confuse the reported 38 km atmospheric visibility with underwater clarity. Today’s wind waves, about 0.64 m at a short 3.15 seconds, are the tradeoff versus yesterday’s 9.2/10 diving conditions. Shoreline explorers and wildlife watchers get their best tide-related opportunity around the 11:41 AM low, though wildlife is only a modest 5.4/10 in the breeze. Rain is forecast mainly from midnight to 4:00 AM; the rest of the day is warm, cloudy, and dry in the representative forecast. Looking ahead, rain chances jump to 94% Wednesday and Thursday, with waves building to 1.1–1.2 m Thursday; Friday looks comparatively more manageable before rougher seas return over the weekend. Best bet: rig the sails for the afternoon breeze, or fish the 9:00–11:00 AM major period before the day’s chop earns more of your attention.
