Southbank Riverwalk, St Johns River, FL Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today is a stellar day for boating and kayaking along the Southbank Riverwalk, with scores of 9.3/10 and 8.9/10, respectively. Expect glassy waters throughout the day, as wave heights remain flat at 0 meters, providing a perfect playground for paddlers and boaters who appreciate calm conditions. Winds are gentle, mostly drifting in from the SSW at 4 knots, although they may gust up to 22 knots around 4 PM, which could add a little spice to an otherwise serene day. Diving conditions are also excellent today with an 8.4/10 score, thanks to the stable water temperatures hovering around 28.3°C and the lack of wave action. The water's clarity should be welcoming, paired with a slight uptick in chlorophyll levels. Fishing enthusiasts will find the best bites during the solunar periods from 9:11 to 11:11 AM and again between 9:11 to 11:11 PM. The fishing score of 7.4/10 is a touch higher than recent days, aided by favorable tides and pressure. However, keep an eye on the clock as a rain window is forecasted between 4 PM and 6 PM, which might dampen the fishing enthusiasm. Sailing and surfing aren't quite as promising, with scores of 5.9/10 and 4.5/10, respectively. The lack of waves and minimal wind this morning doesn't offer much excitement for surfers, and sailors might find the conditions a bit too calm for their liking. Looking ahead, expect similar calm waters with a slight increase in precipitation chances as the week progresses. Temperatures will remain warm, with peak highs in the mid-30s Celsius. The best bet for today is to grab your kayak or hop on a boat and enjoy the tranquil waters before the afternoon gusts roll in.
