Conimicut Light, RI Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

Today at Conimicut Light, the water conditions are giving a big thumbs up to boaters and divers. With a boating score of 8.1 and diving at an impressive 8.4, it's a prime day to be out on the water or beneath it. The ocean is offering a gentle wave height of 0.12 meters with the calmest waters expected around 6 PM, making it a smooth ride for those in kayaks or small craft. The northeast winds are keeping things breezy but manageable, peaking at a gentle 14.4 knots early this morning and settling down to a steady 4 knots throughout the day. The air is comfortably warm, hovering around 21.2°C, but with the humidity at 84%, it feels a tad warmer at 23.1°C. Visibility is clear at nearly 16 kilometers, so no worries about losing sight of land or fellow adventurers. For anglers, the fishing score is a moderate 5.7. The solunar tables suggest the best chances are during the major period from 5:56 to 7:56 AM and again from 5:56 to 7:56 PM. The waxing gibbous moon might not be the perfect fishing companion, but it’s far from a deal-breaker. Surfers might find today a bit underwhelming with a score of 4.7, as the wave heights and periods just aren't providing the thrills. But if you're looking for a gentle paddle or a relaxing day on the board, it’s still a pleasant outing. Looking ahead, the coming days promise more of the same mild conditions, though temperatures will climb towards the weekend. Winds will remain moderate, with a slight uptick in wave height expected mid-week. For the best bet today, grab your snorkel and mask; diving conditions are exceptional with clear waters and calm seas.
