Wrightsville Beach, NC Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today at Wrightsville Beach, the water is calling for a dive or a leisurely boat ride. With diving scoring a stellar 9/10 and boating close behind at 8.9/10, these activities are the pick of the day. The calm seas, with wave heights hovering around 0.38m and dipping to a serene 0.36m around noon, make this a perfect day to explore the underwater world or cruise along the coast. The northwest winds are tame, peaking around 7 knots with a few gusts reaching 12, providing just enough breeze to keep the air pleasant without making the waters choppy. The air temperature is comfortably warm, ranging from 21.6 to 28.3 degrees Celsius, ensuring a delightful day out on the water. For anglers, the fishing score of 7.4/10 suggests decent opportunities, particularly around the solunar periods from 08:56 to 10:56 and again in the evening. While not the highest score, the combination of moderate tides and steady atmospheric pressure should keep the fish interested enough to make your outing worthwhile. Surfers, however, might want to hold off for a better day. With a surfing score of just 4.8/10, the small swell of 0.3m and short period of 3.65 seconds won't do much for catching waves. The wind and swell direction aren't aligning in your favor today. Looking ahead, a slight uptick in winds and chances of rain are forecasted in the coming days, especially from August 27th onwards, with precipitation chances climbing over 50%. If you're planning activities for later in the week, keep an eye on those forecasts. For today, though, the best bet is to grab your gear and head out for a dive or a peaceful paddle. The warm, clear waters are waiting for you.
