CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Annapolis, MD Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today in Annapolis, the water is calling, and it's a fantastic day to be out there, especially if you're into boating or kayaking. With scores of 8.4 and 8.5 out of 10, respectively, both activities promise a smooth ride. The wind is behaving nicely, sticking to a gentle 4 knots from the north, with the occasional gust up to 6 knots, which is quite manageable. The sea surface temperature is a warm 27.3°C, just slightly above average, making it comfortable for divers who also have an 8.4 score. The calmest waves, around 0.04 meters, will be around 2 PM, so plan your paddling or boating for then if you prefer glassy conditions. Diving enthusiasts can expect stable conditions throughout the day, though the underwater visibility isn't specified. Fishing and wildlife scores are moderate at 6/10, likely due to the solunar periods not aligning with peak tide changes. The best fishing window might be during the major solunar period from 2:21 to 4:21 AM or 2:21 to 4:21 PM, coinciding with low tide at 2:06 PM. However, the pressure is slowly dropping, which could stir things up a bit. Surfing isn't the highlight today, with a score of 4.5 out of 10. The waves are too tame, peaking at just 0.3 meters, not offering much for those looking to catch a thrill. Sailors might find the conditions a bit lackluster as well, with a score of 4.9 due to the light winds and overcast skies. Looking ahead, expect the weather to heat up with temperatures soaring past 35°C on September 1st and 3rd. Winds will pick up slightly, and there's a chance of rain in the evenings. For now, seize the day with your paddle or boat—it's as good as it gets this week.
