Mayaguez, PR Daily Water Report — August 26, 2026

Today’s conditions in Mayaguez are nearly perfect for diving, with a standout score of 9/10. If you’re looking to explore beneath the waves, this is your day. The water is calmest around midnight with waves at a gentle 0.36 meters, and the sea surface temperature is a warm 30.6°C, slightly above average, making for comfortable dives. Visibility is excellent at over 27 kilometers, although this is atmospheric and not underwater, it suggests good clarity. Boating enthusiasts will also enjoy their time on the water today, with a solid score of 8.1/10. The light ENE winds at 3 knots, gusting up to 6 knots, create a smooth experience, though you might want to avoid the stronger gusts expected around 9 AM. The ocean current is a bit brisk at 1.1 m/s, so keep an eye on your drift. Fishing scores a moderate 6.3/10, matching yesterday’s conditions. The best time to cast your line is during the solunar major period between 5:58 and 7:58 AM. While the tides are not particularly dramatic, with a high of just 0.46 meters at 8:09 PM, they’re still worth noting for timing your efforts. Surfing is less appealing today with a 4.8/10 score, so you might want to save your energy for another day. The swell from 156 degrees is modest, peaking at 0.26 meters, which might not satisfy those seeking a thrill. Looking ahead, expect similar wave conditions in the coming days, but plan for rain from tomorrow onward, potentially complicating activities. For now, diving remains the best bet—grab your gear and enjoy the underwater wonders while the conditions are prime.
