Port Chicago, CA Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today at Port Chicago, it's a fantastic day to be on the water, with diving, boating, fishing, and kayaking all scoring above 8 out of 10. The calm sea state with zero wave height and a gentle SSW breeze averaging 4 knots make for a smooth ride whether you're paddling or cruising. The ocean surface temperature is a warm 22.5°C, perfect for a dip or a leisurely swim. If you're planning to fish, the solunar periods suggest the best bite times are late morning and late evening, so aim for those windows. The stable barometric pressure at 1016 hPa and the absence of rain keep conditions predictable. Compared to yesterday, fishing conditions have improved significantly, jumping from a 5.6 to an 8.1, likely due to favorable solunar timing and a more stable weather pattern. Sailing and surfing, however, aren't as promising today. With a sailing score of 5.2 and surfing at 4.5, the lack of wind and waves means you might be better off sticking to other activities unless you're in it for a leisurely sail or a paddle along the coast. Looking ahead, the weather remains consistent with no rain and temperatures peaking in the low 30s over the next few days. Winds will stay moderate, peaking at just over 10 knots, ensuring a comfortable experience on the water. The calm marine forecast continues, so expect similar conditions throughout the week. For a memorable outing today, consider a sunset paddle. With the sun setting at 19:51 and the waxing gibbous moon rising shortly after, you'll have a serene backdrop for an evening on the water.
