Baltimore, MD Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Baltimore's waters are a boater's dream today, with a stellar 9.2/10 suitability score. The calm, mirror-like conditions—waves and swells both holding at a perfectly flat 0 meters—make for an ideal day to hit the water. With winds gently whispering at a mere 3 knots from the west, you'll glide smoothly with little resistance. Kayakers will also find the conditions to their liking, scoring a robust 8.6/10. For divers, an 8.4/10 rating suggests a great day to explore beneath the surface. The sea surface temperature sits comfortably at 27.5°C, slightly cooler than average, which should be refreshing. Visibility above water is excellent at 17.6 km, though remember that doesn't guarantee underwater clarity. Fishing enthusiasts might find today a bit challenging, scoring just 6.5/10. The solunar major periods this morning and evening could offer some action, but the lack of wind and wave activity might make the fish feel a bit too at ease. Sailors, you might want to temper expectations with a 5.6/10 score. The gentle breeze won't make for the most thrilling sail, but it could be a peaceful outing if you're in the mood for a leisurely cruise. Surfing and wildlife watchers might need to manage expectations; surfing scores a modest 4.5/10, and while wildlife scores a decent 7.7/10, the flat waters won't attract much dynamic marine life activity today. Looking ahead, the next few days remain calm with no significant wave action expected. Temperatures will hover around the high 20s to low 30s °C, with a slight increase in wind by the 27th, potentially bringing more exciting conditions for sailors. Best bet for today? Take advantage of the serene waters for a peaceful boating or kayaking adventure.
