Boston, MA Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Today is a stellar day for boating and kayaking around Boston, with scores of 9.2 and 8.6 out of 10, respectively. The sea is playing nice with gentle waves peaking at just 0.4 meters and a calmest period at midnight. The wind is light, hovering around 3 knots from the north-northeast, making it a breeze—literally—to glide across the water. Visibility is solid at 13.5 km, so you'll have a clear view of the horizon as you paddle or motor along. For the divers, the conditions are steady with a 7.6 out of 10 score, similar to the past week. The sea surface temperature is a comfortable 20.1°C, slightly warmer than average, which should make for a pleasant underwater experience. Just be aware of the very high chlorophyll levels indicating a bloom; it might affect visibility below the surface. Anglers, today might require a bit more patience. Fishing scores have dropped slightly to 5.8 out of 10, with solunar periods peaking between 3:40-5:40 AM and 3:40-5:40 PM. These are your best windows to cast a line, though the high chlorophyll could mean competition from the baitfish. Surfers might find the conditions a bit underwhelming today with a score of 4.5. The waves are modest, and the swell is minimal, so it might be a good day to swap the board for a paddle or sail. Looking ahead, tomorrow brings a chance of rain with slightly higher waves, so enjoy today’s calm waters while they last. The coming week promises a mix of breezy and calm days, with temperatures climbing back up to the high 20s°C. If you’re looking for the perfect outing today, grab that kayak and enjoy the serene waters while the sun is shining.
