Bridgeport, CT Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

If you're looking to enjoy the waters around Bridgeport today, it's a great day to be out on a boat or to dive into the depths. With a stellar boating score of 8.8 out of 10 and diving at 8.4, conditions are prime for both activities. The calm waves, peaking at only 0.3 meters, and a gentle ENE breeze of 5 knots make for a smooth ride on the water. Kayakers will also find the day favorable with a score of 7.7, thanks to the light winds and minor wave action. Fishing enthusiasts might find the solunar periods helpful, particularly around the early morning and late afternoon. The fishing score sits at a modest 6.2, so while it's not the peak day for casting lines, the major solunar periods from 06:04 to 08:04 and 18:04 to 20:04 could offer some action. The waxing gibbous moon might add a bit of intrigue to your catch rates. Surfers, however, might want to sit this one out or head to more promising breaks elsewhere. With a surfing score of 4.5, the small swell and short period waves just aren't delivering the goods today. Visibility is excellent at 13.3 km, and the air temperature is a comfortable 20.8°C with humidity at a sticky 92%. But fear not, the dew point of 19.5°C keeps things from feeling oppressive. Looking ahead, the weather will remain mostly stable, with temperatures gradually rising and peak winds increasing slightly over the next few days. The chance of rain hovers around 33% on the 23rd and 28th, but the wave heights are expected to stay low, ensuring continued good conditions for boating and diving. For today, if you're looking to soak up the best of Bridgeport's marine offerings, grabbing a paddle or tank is your best bet.
