Fort Pulaski, GA Daily Water Report — October 4, 2026

Fort Pulaski gets a strong all-round water day, especially for boaters, paddlers and divers: light SSW wind, small seas and a stable 1018 hPa pressure setup make this a notably manageable Sunday—though not a blank check for judgment. The best broad window runs from dawn through the late-morning low tide. Sunrise is 7:19 AM, with low water at 9:08 AM, while the first solunar major period overlaps from 7:16 to 9:16 AM. That combination gives anglers a well-timed start, and fishing rates 7.5/10, up from the reconstructed 6.7 yesterday. The afternoon has another useful tide change, with high water at 3:26 PM and a minor solunar period from 1:46 to 2:46 PM. The evening major period, 7:16 to 9:16 PM, arrives around sunset and continues into the falling tide—worth noting for those who prefer a quieter finish, but plan your return before the 10:02 PM low. Boating leads the practical activity board at 8.1/10, with kayaking close behind at 7.8/10. Waves are only about 0.4 to 0.5 m, wind is generally 0.7 to 6.6 knots, and the calmest seas are forecast near 10 PM at 0.36 m. The catch is that the overnight gust peak reached 14.4 knots, and a rain window is carried from 1 AM through 10 PM even though representative precipitation is zero. Keep an eye on the sky rather than assuming the low rain total means a dry outing. Diving scores an excellent 8.7/10, just a shade below the prior two days’ 8.8, supported by light wind, low waves and warm 27.3 C marine SST. That temperature is 1.2 C above average. Atmospheric visibility is forecast at 13.2 km, but that is not a reading of underwater visibility. Sailing is more modest at 6.2/10: smooth water is pleasant, but the light wind will not provide much drive. The next few days turn less friendly, with stronger winds and building seas Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday looks like the next calmer reset, with winds peaking near 6.5 knots and waves around 0.7 to 0.9 m. Best bet: launch early, work the 7:16–9:16 AM solunar window into the 9:08 AM low, and enjoy the rare luxury of small water without pretending it cannot still change.
