Redwood City, CA Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today in Redwood City, the water is calling your name for some excellent boating and kayaking. With a boating score of 8.4 and kayaking a notch higher at 8.5, the conditions are nearly perfect for a day on the water. The wind is gentle, peaking at a mere 9.4 knots, and the sea is as calm as it gets—wave heights are flatlining at zero. For those looking to cast a line, fishing is promising with a score of 7.7. The best times to drop your bait are during the solunar major periods from 10:00 to 12:00 and again from 22:00 to midnight. The tides are cooperating, with a high tide just past noon at 12:19, which should help with the catch. Diving is also a decent option today, scoring 7.4. Visibility is fair with 13.9 km, and the water temperature is a comfortable 17.1°C, slightly warmer than average. However, the very high chlorophyll levels indicate a bloom, which might affect water clarity. Sailing and surfing enthusiasts might want to consider other days, with scores of 4.6 and 4.5, respectively. The lack of waves and minimal swell won't provide the thrill surfers seek, and the inconsistent wind won't make for a smooth sailing experience. Looking ahead, the calm seas persist through the week, with wave heights continuing at zero. Temperatures will climb, with a peak of 32.3°C expected tomorrow, but winds will remain manageable, ensuring steady conditions for boating and kayaking. In summary, grab your kayak or boat and enjoy the serene waters today. The best bet? Head out early to catch the morning tide and solunar peak for fishing, then paddle into the sunset on a sea as smooth as glass.
