Woods Hole, MA Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today in Woods Hole, diving enthusiasts will find conditions quite favorable with a score of 7.5 out of 10. The calm seas and mild wind contribute to this, making it a prime day to explore underwater. With sea surface temperatures at a comfortable 21.9°C and wave heights averaging 0.64 meters, visibility should be decent, though not perfect. For anglers, the fishing score sits at 6.8. While not a banner day, the solunar periods around 2-4 AM and 2-4 PM could offer some promising opportunities. The high tide at 11:02 AM might also help stir up some action. Compared to yesterday's slightly higher score of 7.3, you'll need to work a bit harder for your catch today. Sailing conditions are steady with a score of 6.7. Winds from the north at 7 knots, gusting to 11, provide a moderate challenge without being overwhelming. This is a touch lower than the previous days, but still enjoyable for those keen to set sail. Surfers might find the 5.8 score reflective of the modest swell and short period waves. It's not the most exhilarating day out there, but if you're just looking to get on the water, it’ll do. Looking ahead, expect a windy start to September with gusts reaching nearly 20 knots tomorrow. Temperatures will stay mild, with a chance of rain that could affect visibility and comfort, especially for those on the water. By the weekend, conditions should stabilize with lower winds and minimal precipitation. For today, if diving is your passion, seize the opportunity and make a splash while the conditions are right.
