Key West, FL Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today's a solid day to hit the water in Key West, especially for divers and boaters. With a diving score of 7.8/10 and boating at 7.9/10, you'll find the ocean cooperating nicely. The sea's relatively calm demeanor, with wave heights dancing between 0.3 and 0.5 meters, promises a smooth ride for those setting sail or dropping anchor for a dive. The water temperature is a warm 31.9°C, inviting for both wetsuit-clad divers and sun-seeking sailors. Fishing enthusiasts have a decent window too, with a score of 7.4/10. The solunar periods suggest prime times around late morning and evening. Keep an eye on the tides, with the next high at 22:02, as it might just be the ticket to some rewarding catches. Sailors might find the conditions a bit lackluster with a score of 6.6/10. The easterly winds are gentle, peaking at 12.4 knots around midday. While not the best for adrenaline-pumping racing, it's a comfortable breeze for a leisurely cruise. Surfers, however, might want to sit this one out. With a score of 4.6/10, the waves are less than inspiring, peaking at just 0.34 meters. Better to save your energy for a more promising swell later in the week. Looking ahead, expect increasing winds and potential showers, particularly on the 26th and 30th, where the chance of rain climbs to 36% and 48% respectively. For now, take advantage of today’s stable 1016 hPa pressure and clear skies. If you're planning a wildlife expedition, the combination of low wind and strategic solunar periods could make for an exciting day. In short, if you’re a diver or boater, today’s conditions are your friend. Just remember: the best adventures start with a good plan and a watchful eye on the horizon.
