West Fowl River Bridge, AL Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today at West Fowl River Bridge, boating takes the top spot with a solid 8.8/10, thanks to mellow winds and minimal wave action. If you're keen to hit the water, now's your chance. The wind is a gentle 2 knots from the north, with occasional gusts up to 5 knots, making it a breeze for both boaters and kayakers, who also enjoy a respectable 7.8/10 today. The water temperature is a warm 30.9°C, slightly above average, which should be inviting for those looking to dive in. Fishing enthusiasts have a decent window too, with a 7.3/10 score. The solunar periods suggest the best bites might come late morning or after dark, so plan accordingly. While the tides aren't particularly dramatic—a high of 0.58m at 8:48 AM and a low of 0.08m at 7:15 PM—they shouldn't interfere much with your plans. Surfers, however, might want to find other ways to pass the time, as the waves are quite modest at 0.16m with a swell of 0.12m. A 5.1/10 score reflects this lackluster surf setup. Sailors face a similar fate with a 5.6/10, as the wind lacks the oomph needed for a thrilling day on the sails. Comparing to recent days, today's conditions are generally calm and stable, with a slightly improved fishing score and consistently good diving conditions. The near absence of clouds and rain keeps the visibility high at 14.1 km, so you'll have a clear view of the beautiful coastal surroundings. Looking ahead, the weather is set to remain warm with a slight chance of rain increasing as we head into the weekend. Winds will pick up a bit, especially on the 27th and 28th. For a memorable day out, consider an evening paddle or boat ride under the waxing gibbous moonrise at 6:01 PM, when the water is at its calmest.
