Redwood City, CA Daily Water Report — August 26, 2026

Today in Redwood City, the water is calling your name, with boating and kayaking topping the charts at 8.8/10 and 8.7/10, respectively. A gentle breeze from the east-northeast, peaking at 14.6 knots this evening, ensures a smooth ride for boaters and paddlers alike. The water is as calm as it gets, with wave heights registering a big fat zero. This tranquility is perfect for a leisurely paddle or a serene day on the boat. Fishing enthusiasts should aim to hit the water during the solunar major periods, particularly from 10:46 to 12:46, to make the most of a solid 7.9/10 rating. While the chlorophyll levels indicate a very high concentration, implying potential bloom conditions, this doesn't necessarily translate to fish activity but could affect water clarity. Divers can enjoy a decent 7.3/10 day, with stable weather and manageable wind conditions. However, the high chlorophyll might impact underwater visibility, so keep that in mind when planning dives. Surfing remains a no-go with a 4.5/10 score, as the ocean's glassy surface offers no swell to ride. Similarly, sailors might find today less thrilling, given the low wind consistency and waves, scoring a mere 5/10. Looking ahead, expect temperatures to rise slightly tomorrow, with a peak wind of 10.4 knots. The calm conditions are set to persist, making it an ideal stretch for water activities that thrive on serenity. Your best bet today? Grab a kayak and glide over the glassy water, soaking in the calm and the quiet—it's a paddler's paradise out there.
