Atlantic City, NJ Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today in Atlantic City, boating and diving stand out as the top choices for water enthusiasts. With a boating suitability score of 8.1/10 and diving at a stellar 8.8/10, conditions are prime for both activities. The calm sea state with wave heights hovering around 0.42 meters and a gentle swell from the southeast make for comfortable outings on and beneath the water. The light southern winds, peaking at 11.8 knots late tonight, shouldn't pose much of a hassle, though keep an eye out for gusts reaching 20 knots around 10 PM. The water temperature is a pleasant 25.6°C, slightly warmer than usual, which complements the diving conditions beautifully. For anglers, the fishing score holds steady at 6.9/10, unchanged from yesterday, with the best times aligning with the solunar major periods early in the morning and late afternoon. The tides offer a high at 10:48 AM, which could be a sweet spot for casting lines. Surfers might find the day a bit underwhelming with a score of 5.4/10. The modest wave period and height don't promise thrilling rides, but for those looking to just enjoy being out on the board, it's still a decent day. Kayakers will find the conditions favorable with a score of 7.8/10, thanks to the manageable waves and light winds. Looking ahead, the weather remains relatively stable with temperatures in the low to mid-20s Celsius and no significant rain expected until late tonight. Winds will pick up slightly over the next few days, so plan accordingly. For a guaranteed good time, diving today is your best bet—clear, warm waters and calm conditions make it hard to beat.
