CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Kings Point, NY Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today is shaping up to be a solid day on the water at Kings Point. Boaters and divers will find particularly favorable conditions with scores of 8.8 and 8.4 out of 10, respectively. Light winds from the WSW at 4 knots, with gusts peaking at 14.8 knots around 3 PM, keep things manageable for most activities. While fishing and sailing scores are a bit lower at 6.5 and 6.3, there's still plenty to enjoy, especially during the solunar major periods this morning and evening. The calmest seas will be around 6 PM with wave heights dipping to 0.3 meters. With no rain in sight and visibility stretching over 20 kilometers, it's a great day for a leisurely paddle or a dive. The sea surface temperature sits at a comfortable 23.1°C, slightly above average, which should make for a pleasant experience in the water. Surfing enthusiasts may find the day less thrilling, with a score of 4.8 out of 10. The modest swell of 0.28 meters from the southeast isn't likely to generate many memorable rides. Wildlife observers might find the conditions more engaging, with a score of 6.5, though it's a dip from yesterday's 8.0. Looking ahead, expect a slight uptick in wind and wave activity over the next few days, with Thursday bringing a chance of rain and increased swell. For a truly stellar experience, tonight's high tide around 11 PM coincides with a waxing gibbous moon, providing a picturesque backdrop for any evening excursions.
