Turkey Point Hudson River NERRS, NY Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today at Turkey Point, the Hudson River is rolling out a red carpet for boaters and kayakers, with near-perfect conditions. With a boating score of 9.6 and kayaking at 9.5, the water is as inviting as it gets. The wind is barely a whisper, peaking at a gentle 4.7 knots from the east-southeast. This means smooth sailing—or rather, paddling—especially during the calm periods around dawn and dusk. Fishing enthusiasts, while not hitting jackpot scores, will find decent opportunities with a score of 7.2. The solunar major period around midday should be particularly fruitful. The tide swings today from a high of 1.39 meters in the early morning to a low of 0.04 meters mid-morning, offering prime low-tide conditions for shoreline exploration or wading. Surfers, however, may want to sit this one out. With wave heights at a flat 0 meters, the surfing score has languished at 4.5. It's a similar story for divers, with no score available, likely due to the absence of notable underwater visibility or temperature data. The wildlife score of 8.2 suggests a lively day for those keen on observing nature. The full moon, setting at 7:43 AM, adds a touch of magic to early-morning expeditions. Looking ahead, the weather remains stable and dry, with temperatures climbing in the coming days. By September 3rd, expect a sizzle with highs reaching 32.5 degrees Celsius. Winds will pick up slightly, but precipitation remains a distant concern. In summary, if you're looking to glide across the glassy waters of Turkey Point, today is your day. The calm conditions and inviting temperatures make it a perfect time to grab a paddle or set sail.
