Burlington, Delaware River, NJ Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today is a great day to hit the water in Burlington, NJ. The Delaware River is practically begging for some boating and kayaking action, with both activities scoring impressively high. Boating gets a stellar 9.4/10, thanks to the calm conditions and gentle winds, while kayaking is close behind at 9/10. With a wave height of 0 meters and winds mostly hovering around 3 knots, it's smooth sailing—or paddling, as it were. Fishing enthusiasts will find decent conditions, too, with a score of 7.9/10. The solunar major periods this morning and evening might just give anglers the edge they need to reel in a good catch. The waxing gibbous moon is adding a bit of extra allure, though the best fishing times align with the early morning and late evening solunar peaks. For sailors, the day is less ideal, scoring a middling 5.8/10. The light and variable winds don't offer much for a thrilling sail, but it's still a pleasant day for a leisurely cruise. Surfers, on the other hand, may want to sit this one out with a score of 4.5/10—there's simply no swell to speak of. Comparing today to the past few days, conditions have improved for boating and kayaking, which have steadily climbed in suitability. Meanwhile, fishing is seeing a nice uptick from yesterday's 6.3/10 score. Looking ahead, the forecast promises a continued run of calm waters through the end of the month, with temperatures rising and a slight chance of rain on the 27th. So, if you're planning a water outing, today is your best bet for tranquility on the Delaware. Enjoy the peace while it lasts!
