Lewes, DE Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Today in Lewes, Delaware, it's a solid day to set sail with sailing scoring a respectable 7.7/10. The wind from the northeast will keep you on your toes, gusting up to 12 knots, but it’s consistent enough for a smooth sail. The water is a pleasant 26.9°C, slightly warmer than average, which should make for a comfortable day on the water whether you're above or below the surface. For those considering a dive, today's conditions are favorable with a 7.6/10 score. The calmest waves, around 0.34 meters, were earlier this morning, but they remain manageable throughout the day. Visibility is at a decent 15 km, though remember, that’s atmospheric, not underwater. The chlorophyll levels are high, indicating a bloom, which can impact clarity for diving but also suggests vibrant marine life. Fishing enthusiasts will find the solunar periods from 3:56 to 5:56 AM and again from 3:56 to 5:56 PM to be prime windows. However, with a middling score of 6.6/10, it’s not the best day we’ve seen this week. The tides are in your favor though, peaking at 1.50 meters just before 1 PM. For surfers, it’s a bit of a trade-off with a score of 5.7/10. The wave height is modest at 0.36 meters, and the swell direction isn’t ideal, but if you’re looking for a casual ride, it’s doable. Looking ahead, tomorrow promises windier conditions with gusts up to 25.8 knots, so today might be your best bet for a more relaxed outing. Over the next few days, expect a mix of temperatures and mild chances of rain until the end of the week. If you’re out there today, make the most of the gentle waves and warm waters—you won't regret it!
