Bridgeport, CT Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today in Bridgeport, the waters are calling, and it’s a prime day for boating and kayaking enthusiasts. With a stellar boating score of 9.1 and kayaking at 8.5, the conditions are ripe for a smooth and pleasant outing. The gentle westerly winds clock in at a mere 2 knots, ensuring a serene experience, while the wave height is barely noticeable at 0.1 meters. The tides are quite dramatic today, with the first high tide at 2.25 meters early in the morning and the second peaking slightly higher at 2.34 meters in the early afternoon. For those planning to hit the water, the calmest wave conditions are expected around midnight, but throughout the day, the waves remain friendly and manageable. Fishing scores remain steady at 7.2, so anglers might find it worth their while during the solunar major periods from 01:23 to 03:23 and 13:23 to 15:23. The atmospheric pressure is falling from 1023 hPa, which might not be ideal for fishing, but the clear skies with just 12% cloud cover offer excellent visibility for spotting those prized catches. Surfers, however, might want to sit this one out, with a low surfing score of 4.5. The modest swell of 0.08 meters at a rapid period of 1.15 seconds isn't providing much to ride on. Meanwhile, divers will enjoy a solid 8.4 score, thanks to the calm waters and a sea surface temperature of 23°C, slightly warmer than usual. Looking ahead, expect a slight uptick in wind and wave activity later in the week, particularly by September 3rd, when waves may approach 0.7 meters. For today, though, the best bet is to grab a paddle or the helm and enjoy the tranquility of Bridgeport's waters.
