Coxsackie, Hudson River, NY Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today in Coxsackie, the Hudson River is rolling out the welcome mat for boaters and kayakers, with near-perfect scores of 8.5/10 and 8.8/10 respectively. The calm conditions, characterized by a glassy 0m wave height throughout the day, make it an ideal time to paddle or cruise. The wind is a gentle companion, peaking at just 13.8 knots around 10:00, but otherwise staying manageable. While the fishing score holds steady at 6/10, it's not a bad day to cast a line, particularly during the solunar major period from 14:59 to 16:59. The tides are cooperative too, with a high tide at 19:48 reaching 1.66 meters, perfect for fishing from the shore or a boat. Just be mindful of the rain window between 10:00 and 15:00, which might dampen the mood but won't necessarily affect the catch. Surfers might want to keep their boards dry today with a low 4.5/10 score, given the flat conditions. It's more of a day for a leisurely float than any serious wave riding. Similarly, sailing enthusiasts will find today a bit underwhelming with a 5/10 score, thanks to the light winds and zero wave action. Comparing with recent days, the boating and kayaking conditions have slightly dipped, but they remain excellent. The air is warmer today at a comfortable 20.3°C, providing a pleasant backdrop for your aquatic adventures. Looking ahead, expect increasing chances of rain on September 2nd and 3rd, with wind picking up slightly. By September 4th, the weather clears up, offering a nice stretch of dry conditions through the weekend. For now, take advantage of today’s serene river scene—the perfect setting for a peaceful paddle or a leisurely boat ride.
