Redwood City, CA Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today in Redwood City, the water is calling all boaters and kayakers. With a boating score of 9/10 and kayaking at 8.3/10, the conditions are prime for a day out on the water. The ocean is as calm as it gets, with zero waves and swell—ideal for smooth sailing and paddling. The wind is light, hanging around 3 knots from the northwest with occasional gusts up to 18 knots, which should be manageable for experienced sailors and paddlers. Fishing scores a decent 6.8/10, boosted by the full moon tonight. The solunar periods suggest early afternoon might be your best bet for casting a line. With no rain and clear skies, visibility is excellent, stretching over 25 kilometers. However, the very high chlorophyll levels indicate a significant bloom, which might affect clarity underwater but could also attract fish. Surfers, however, might want to sit this one out. With a surfing score of only 4.5/10, the flat conditions offer little to no action on the waves. Diving conditions are better, scoring 7.4/10, thanks to stable water temperatures at 16.8°C and minimal wind interference. Compared to recent days, today's conditions are slightly more favorable for boating and kayaking, with scores nudging up from yesterday. The stable barometric pressure of 1015 hPa suggests no dramatic weather changes, keeping the waters calm and inviting. Looking ahead, the calm conditions persist with zero waves forecasted through the next week. Temperatures will remain comfortable, peaking around 25.3°C over the coming days, and the chance of rain is almost non-existent. Best bet for today? Grab a paddle or set sail. With the serene waters and a full moon rising, it's a day made for gliding through the calm and soaking in the tranquility.
