Solomons Island, MD Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today at Solomons Island is a boater's delight, with scores reaching a solid 8.2 out of 10 for both boating and kayaking. The calm wave conditions, peaking at just 0.3 meters, and a gentle NNE breeze make for smooth sailing. If you’re planning to paddle or cruise, the best window is early morning, when the wind is mellowest and the waters are at their calmest. Fishing is decent, scoring 7 out of 10, thanks to favorable solunar periods. The major solunar window from 12:51 to 14:51 should see some action, especially under the influence of a full moon. However, keep an eye on the high chlorophyll levels, indicating a bloom that might affect water clarity. For surfers, it’s another day of modest expectations with a 4.5/10 score. The waves are gentle, and the swell is minimal at 0.04 meters. This isn’t the day for catching epic waves, but it’s a good opportunity for beginners or those looking to practice without much competition. Divers can look forward to a 7.6/10 experience, with the water temperature a comfortable 28.2°C. Visibility might be impacted by the chlorophyll bloom, so be prepared for less-than-ideal conditions underwater.

As for the days ahead, expect temperatures to climb into the low 30s with a slight increase in wind, but minimal rain chances through the week.
