Billingsgate, London Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today is a prime day for boating enthusiasts at Billingsgate Harbor, with an impressive suitability score of 8.8 out of 10. The conditions are as calm as they come, with wave heights and swells registering a flat zero. The wind, blowing from the northeast at a gentle 7 knots, may gust up to 22 knots around 2 PM, but it remains manageable for most boaters. Compared to the past couple of days, boating conditions have slightly improved, offering a smoother ride than yesterday's 8.1 score and reflecting a steady trend of favorable conditions. For those looking to kayak, the day scores a solid 7.9 out of 10. The flat waters and mild breeze create an inviting environment for paddling around the harbor. Divers can also enjoy a decent day out, with a score of 7.6, mirroring recent days' consistency. The lack of wave action and stable wind conditions should provide good underwater visibility, even if the exact water temperature remains unknown. Fishing, however, might require a bit more patience today, scoring 6.1. The solunar periods suggest the best fishing windows are from 9:24 to 11:24 AM and 9:24 to 11:24 PM, aligning with the major feeding times. Meanwhile, surfers will have to sit this one out, as the flat conditions offer little excitement with a meager score of 4.5. Looking ahead, the weather will shift, with increasing chances of rain from tomorrow onward, peaking at an 86% chance on the 27th. Winds will remain relatively calm, but the wet conditions might dampen some outdoor plans. If you're looking for the best bet today, take advantage of the calm waters and pleasant temperatures for a leisurely boating or kayaking excursion.
