CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Billingsgate, London Daily Water Report — August 24, 2026

Today at Billingsgate, it's a sailor's delight with a top-notch sailing score of 9.2 out of 10. The wind is blowing steadily from the east-northeast at 12 knots, gusting to 24, providing perfect conditions for those who love to harness the wind. The absence of any wave action makes it less thrilling for surfers, who find themselves with a low suitability score of 4.3 out of 10. For those looking to cast a line, fishing scores a modest 6.6 out of 10, with the best chances during the solunar major periods between 08:35-10:35 and 20:35-22:35. The diving conditions remain stable with a score of 7.6, matched by yesterday's conditions, thanks to calm waters and decent visibility. Boaters will find today slightly less ideal than yesterday, scoring 8.1 compared to a previous 9.6, primarily due to the increased wind. Kayakers will enjoy a smooth paddle, though the score has dipped to 6.9 from 9.4, again due to the breezier conditions. Weather-wise, it's a pleasant day with temperatures ranging from 13.2 to 21.9°C, and skies partly cloudy at 38% cover. No rain is expected, and the barometric pressure is on a gentle decline at 1016 hPa. The waxing gibbous moon, 84% illuminated, will rise at 17:43, providing a lovely backdrop for any evening activities. Looking ahead, tomorrow promises slightly warmer weather with less wind, while rain chances increase significantly by the 26th. For a memorable outing, set sail today and let the wind guide you across the calm, mirror-like waters of Billingsgate—it's a day made for sails and stories.
