Mayport (Bar Pilots Dock), FL Daily Water Report — September 3, 2026

Today’s conditions at Mayport make it a great day for boating and diving, with scores of 8.7 and 8.5 out of 10, respectively. Boaters can expect a smooth ride with calm seas reaching their lowest point around 20:00. Divers will enjoy good underwater conditions, with manageable wave heights and a sea surface temperature of 28.1°C, just a touch cooler than usual. Although fishing scores a decent 6.8, the morning and late afternoon solunar periods could boost your luck. The morning major period from 05:20 to 07:20 coincides nicely with the sunrise at 07:04, giving anglers an early start. Surfing also offers a respectable 6.9, thanks to moderate wave heights and a gentle swell from the east, but don’t expect anything too thrilling. The wind is generally light, blowing from the ENE at 4 knots, but gusts could reach up to 15.4 knots by tonight. While this won’t trouble most boaters, sailors might find the inconsistency a bit of a letdown, as reflected in the sailing score of 5.9. Humidity is high at 92%, which makes the air feel a bit warmer than the actual 25.7°C. A rain window from 11:00 to 16:00 is forecast, but with no significant precipitation expected, it’s more of a cloud cover consideration than a washout warning. Looking ahead, expect temperatures to climb slightly in the coming days, with a higher chance of rain and stronger winds by September 7th. But today, if you’re seeking tranquility on the water, this evening’s calm seas are your best bet for a serene sunset cruise.
