Reykjavik, Iceland Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today is a fantastic day for boating and kayaking in Reykjavik Harbor, with scores of 9/10 and 8.2/10, respectively. The calm waters, with wave heights peaking at just 0.4 meters, and the gentle ESE breeze maxing out at 10.1 knots this afternoon, make for serene conditions. The water temperature is a comfortable 11.9°C, slightly above average, enhancing the experience for paddlers and boaters alike. The fishing score of 7.2/10 suggests a decent day for anglers, especially during the solunar major period from 3:29 to 5:29 this morning and again from 15:29 to 17:29. Pressure is on the rise at 1011 hPa, which usually bodes well for fishing. Although there's no tide data available, the conditions align well with recent days, slightly improving from yesterday's 6.3/10. Surfers might find today less thrilling, with a score of 4.5/10. The swell is modest at 0.22 meters, coming from the northwest, and the short period of 3.7 seconds means waves aren't forming up significantly. Similarly, sailors might find the wind a bit too light for excitement, with a sailing score of 6/10. Visibility is excellent at over 33 kilometers, though the UV index is a non-factor today. For wildlife enthusiasts, the 7.6/10 score indicates good opportunities, particularly around the solunar periods, although the absence of tide data might require some local knowledge to optimize sightings. Looking ahead, expect more wind and rain chances tomorrow, with gusts hitting 15.6 knots and a 57% chance of precipitation. Things get even breezier on the 3rd, so today is your best bet for calm waters and clear skies. If you're looking for a moment of tranquility, aim for the evening around 20:00 when the waves are at their calmest.
