Marcus Hook, PA Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today is an excellent day for boating and kayaking at Marcus Hook, thanks to almost non-existent wave action and a gentle breeze. With a stellar boating score of 9.6 out of 10 and kayaking close behind at 9.4, conditions are optimal for a smooth ride on the water. The wind is a mild 2 knots from the SSE, making it a fantastic day for paddling without battling the elements. Fishing enthusiasts will find decent conditions today, with a score of 7.3. Your best bet is to head out during the solunar major periods between 08:46 and 10:46 or later from 20:46 to 22:46, when fish activity peaks. The tide is high at 11:12 and 23:27, which could also play to your advantage. For those interested in diving, conditions remain consistent with previous days, scoring a solid 8.4. The water temperature anomaly is slightly cooler than usual, but with no waves or swell, visibility should be decent. Sailing and surfing, however, might not be as rewarding today. With a sailing score of 5.6 and surfing at 4.5, the lack of wind and wave action means it’s not the best day for catching wind or waves. Looking ahead, the next few days promise a slight increase in wind, peaking at 11.8 knots on August 27, along with a higher chance of rain. This could affect boating and kayaking conditions, but today remains your best bet for a tranquil outing on the water. If you're seeking a serene day in nature, today is your golden opportunity for a paddle or leisurely boat ride.
