Charlotte Amalie, VI Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

If you're heading out today in Charlotte Amalie, the water is calling for sailors and divers, with both activities scoring high. Sailing is the top pick, with an impressive 8.6/10, thanks to strong, consistent easterly winds gusting up to 20 knots. Divers will also find favorable conditions with a score of 8.5/10, benefiting from the stable water temperature of 29.2°C and moderate wave heights. Surfing enthusiasts can enjoy a decent 7.1/10, with waves peaking around 1.04 meters and a supportive swell from 109 degrees. The calmest wave conditions are expected around 10:00 AM, so early risers might catch a smoother ride. Fishing scores a respectable 6.7/10 today, though the lack of tide data might leave some guesswork for the best catch times. The solunar major period in the late afternoon could offer a promising window. Boating and kayaking are less appealing today, with scores of 4.9/10 and 3.8/10, respectively. The combination of gusty winds and ocean currents could make for a choppy ride, especially with wind waves reaching 0.7 meters at a brisk 3.3-second interval. Wildlife watchers might find moderate success with a 5.6/10 score, though the oligotrophic waters suggest low marine productivity. Looking ahead, the winds will remain steady through the week, with a slight uptick expected on the 25th and 28th. Wave heights will stay consistent, but a slight increase in swell is anticipated as the week progresses. Keep an eye on the weather, as the chance of rain creeps up to 45% by the 28th. If you're searching for the best bet today, set sail! The winds are in your favor, offering a perfect day to harness the breeze and enjoy the open water.
