Mayport (Bar Pilots Dock), FL Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today at Mayport, diving is your best bet with an impressive score of 8.2 out of 10. The conditions are primed for underwater exploration, thanks to calm waves around 0.52 meters and a sea surface temperature of 27.8°C. The wind is a gentle 7 knots from the east, providing a stable environment for diving enthusiasts. Fishing also looks promising today, scoring 7.4 out of 10, with the solunar major period from 1:55 to 3:55 p.m. aligning nicely with the afternoon low tide at 4:29 p.m. While the tides are moderate, with a high of 1.55 meters at 10:46 a.m., the overall conditions should support a decent catch, especially if you time your outing with the solunar periods. Surfers might find the day less thrilling, with a score of 5.3 out of 10. The waves are consistent but relatively small, peaking at 0.6 meters. The swell direction from 116 degrees doesn't offer the best alignment for Mayport's breaks, so temper your expectations for any epic rides. Boaters and kayakers will experience a bit of a trade-off today. Boating scores a 6.3, while kayaking comes in at 5. These scores reflect the manageable wind and wave conditions, but the 1.7 km visibility and persistent rain throughout the day could dampen the experience. Comparing this to recent days, diving remains a consistent highlight, while boating has seen a slight dip from the previous score of 8.2. The next few days promise steadier conditions, with wind speeds peaking around 10 knots and waves maintaining a similar height. As the week progresses, expect a slight drop in wave height, potentially improving the conditions for both surfing and kayaking. For a memorable outing, gear up for a dive today and embrace the underwater serenity Mayport has to offer.
