Burlington, Delaware River, NJ Daily Water Report — August 26, 2026

Today is a prime day for hitting the water in Burlington, NJ, especially if you're planning to kayak or boat. With a stellar 9.4/10 boating score and a 9/10 for kayaking, conditions are nearly perfect. The Delaware River is as calm as can be, with wave heights flatlining at 0 meters throughout the day. The wind is a gentle breeze from the southwest, peaking at just under 7 knots, which is unlikely to ruffle any feathers—or waters. Fishing enthusiasts will also find today promising, with an 8.1/10 score. The major solunar periods from 9:31 to 11:31 AM and 9:31 to 11:31 PM are your best bets for a catch. With stable barometric pressure around 1018 hPa and no rain in sight, the fish should be biting. Compared to yesterday, when fishing scored a 7.9/10, today offers a slight edge. Sailing, however, might not be as thrilling, scoring a moderate 5.7/10. The light winds and flat waters are less than ideal for those seeking a brisk sail. Surfing also remains low on the excitement scale at 4.5/10, with no waves to speak of. Wildlife watchers will enjoy an 8.5/10 score, thanks to optimal solunar timing and the tranquility of the environment. Looking ahead, tomorrow's forecast suggests slightly stronger winds and a chance of rain, so today is your best window for calm water activities. If you're itching for a day on the river, grab your kayak or boat and enjoy the serene conditions. Remember, the early bird catches the worm—or in this case, the fish—so plan to be out during those key solunar periods for the best experience.
