Alameda, CA Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today in Alameda, conditions are ripe for boating and fishing, with scores of 8.3/10 and 8/10, respectively. The calm wave heights, peaking at a mere 0.24 meters, and a steady marine surface temperature of 21.6°C provide a smooth ride for boaters and a pleasant day for anglers. Early risers will find the calmest waters around 10:00 AM, making it an ideal time to set sail or cast a line. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the solunar periods, especially the major one from 3:19 to 5:19 PM, coinciding with stable barometric pressure at 1017 hPa. The chlorophyll concentration indicates a bloom, suggesting strong conditions for baitfish, though this doesn't automatically translate to a fishing frenzy. While the sky remains clear, the air temperature is a comfortable 15.7°C, climbing to a high of 21°C with a gentle WSW breeze at 6 knots, gusting occasionally to 14 knots. Surfers might find today less thrilling with a score of 5.3/10, as the waves are modest and the swell is coming from a less-than-ideal direction. Meanwhile, divers can enjoy decent underwater conditions with a score of 7.2/10, though the lack of tide data means visibility specifics are a bit of a mystery. Looking ahead, the weather remains stable through the week, with temperatures fluctuating between the low teens and low twenties and minimal chances of rain. Wave heights will gradually increase, offering more excitement for surfers later in the week. For those seeking the best experience today, boating offers the most promise. With calm seas and mild winds, it's a splendid day to explore the waters around Alameda.
