Atlantic City, NJ Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today in Atlantic City, the waters are primed for a fantastic boating and kayaking experience, with scores of 9.2/10 and 8.5/10 respectively. The gentle northwesterly winds, peaking at a mere 9.2 knots, ensure smooth sailing for paddlers and boaters alike. The ocean is offering waves around 0.48 meters with a calm spell expected around 9 PM, making it an ideal day for those looking to glide over serene waters. If you're diving, conditions are also top-notch with a score of 8.8/10, thanks to the stable water temperatures and minimal wave action. For surfers, the day presents moderate excitement with a 6.2/10 score, as the 0.36-meter swell from 140 degrees won’t challenge seasoned riders but offers some fun for beginners. Fishing enthusiasts might find the day slightly less rewarding, scoring 6.6/10, mainly due to the high chlorophyll levels indicating potential baitfish activity, but not necessarily a surefire catch. Compared to the past few days, the boating and kayaking conditions have slightly improved, maintaining their high scores thanks to the favorable wind and wave conditions. Yesterday’s fishing score was a touch higher, perhaps reflecting slightly better solunar conditions. Looking ahead, the rest of the week sees a gradual uptick in wave heights, particularly on August 27th, when waves could reach up to 1.0 meters, which could spice things up for surfers. Overall, the weather remains friendly with limited rain chances, although wind speeds are set to increase slightly by the weekend. For today, if you want the best of both tranquility and adventure, an evening kayak trip around sunset promises to be an unforgettable experience.
