Baltimore, MD Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026
Today in Baltimore, the waters are calling all boaters and kayakers for a smooth and steady ride, with a stellar boating score of 9.2 out of 10 and kayaking not far behind at 8.6. With wave heights at a glassy 0 meters and a gentle wind predominantly from the north at 3 knots, it's a perfect day to glide across the water without a bump in sight. The marine surface temperature is a warm 27.1°C, making it comfortable for those who might want to take a dip. Fishing enthusiasts might find the conditions a bit less thrilling, scoring 6.4, thanks to a mix of solunar timing and tide states that aren't quite in your favor. But with the full moon still bright in the sky, there's always a chance for a surprise catch during the major solunar period between 12:51 and 14:51. Surfing, however, remains stuck in the doldrums with a 4.5 score—those zero-meter waves aren't doing any favors. Similarly, sailors might find the day a bit lackluster with a score of 5.8, as the light winds won't provide much excitement. Comparing to recent days, today's boating and kayaking conditions continue to shine, while fishing has seen a slight dip from yesterday's 7.6 score. The wildlife score has also taken a hit from a high 9.4 yesterday to 6.4 today, possibly due to less favorable solunar conditions. Looking ahead, the calm wave conditions are expected to persist with no swell on the horizon. Temperatures will climb in the coming days, peaking at a sizzling 37.8°C by September 3rd, so be prepared for some hot days on the water. For a truly memorable outing, grab your kayak and hit the water early; it's as calm as it gets out there today.
