Turkey Point Hudson River NERRS, NY Daily Water Report — September 3, 2026

Today at Turkey Point, if you're looking for a smooth paddling or boating experience, you're in luck. With a kayaking score of 8.5 and boating at 8.4, conditions are nearly ideal for a leisurely excursion on the water. The Hudson is offering up glass-like calm with wave heights staying at a serene 0 meters throughout the day. The wind is light, mostly hovering around 5 knots from the SSE, but do watch for gusts up to 14 knots in the morning. Fishing, however, is a bit of a mixed bag, scoring a modest 5.6. The solunar tables suggest the best bite might be around the major periods from 4:50 to 6:50 AM and again from 4:50 to 6:50 PM. The pressure is falling, which could make the fish a bit more unpredictable than usual. Sailors might find today a tad underwhelming with a score of 5.6, but if you enjoy the challenge of light winds, it could still be a pleasant day out. Surfing enthusiasts, on the other hand, should probably leave the boards at home; with zero swell, you're looking at a flat day. Comparing to recent days, conditions are slightly less favorable for fishing and kayaking compared to the beginning of the month, but boating remains consistently enjoyable. The weather is quite warm with temperatures rising up to 29.2°C, so staying hydrated is key. Looking ahead, the forecast calls for similarly calm conditions over the next few days, with temperatures dipping slightly but remaining pleasant. If you're planning a water activity, kayaking remains your best bet. Today’s best window is the late afternoon for a tranquil paddle as the sun begins its descent.
