Mayport (Bar Pilots Dock), FL Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today at Mayport, it's a great day to hit the water, especially if you're into boating or diving, with both scoring a solid 8.2 out of 10. The calm seas with wave heights hovering around 0.3 to 0.5 meters and a gentle SSE breeze peaking at 13 knots by late afternoon make for smooth sailing. The sea surface temperature is a balmy 27.5°C, just a touch warmer than usual, which divers will appreciate. Fishing enthusiasts are in for a decent day too, with a score of 7.4. The full moon tonight, coupled with favorable solunar periods, means the bite could be on during the early morning and early afternoon. Just remember, the best fishing tends to align with those major solunar windows from 01:11-03:11 and 13:11-15:11. Surfers might find the conditions a bit underwhelming, scoring only 5.2. The small swell from the east and mild winds won't be delivering much in the way of thrilling rides. It's a similar story for sailors, where the low wind consistency keeps the sailing score at a modest 4.6. Looking back, conditions have been quite stable over the past week, with slight fluctuations in wind and air temperature. Today continues that trend, offering slightly improved conditions for kayaking, which scores a commendable 8.1. The gentle current and minimal wind waves make it an ideal day for paddling along the coast. As we look ahead, expect similar conditions with a slight uptick in wave height by September 2nd. A chance of rain creeps in by the end of the month, but nothing too disruptive. For now, your best bet is to enjoy the calm waters and warm temperatures—perfect for a leisurely day on the water.
