Charlotte Amalie, VI Daily Water Report — August 24, 2026

Today in Charlotte Amalie, the water's calling, but choose your adventure wisely. Divers and sailors, it's your day to shine with top scores of 8.6 out of 10, thanks to clear, warm waters and a steady easterly wind around 13 knots. The sea surface temperature is a balmy 29.5°C, just a tad above average, making for pleasant underwater exploration. The wind is consistent enough to keep sailors happy without being too rough. Fishing enthusiasts will find their sweet spot during the major solunar periods, particularly between 4:13-6:13 AM and 4:13-6:13 PM, as the fish may be more inclined to bite. With a fishing score of 8.2, it’s a good day to cast your line, especially with stable barometric pressure at 1016 hPa and no rain in sight. For surfers, the conditions are decent with a score of 6.9. Waves are peaking at around 1.1 meters, with the calmest period early at 6:00 AM. While not epic, it’s enough for some fun rides. However, kayakers might want to reconsider, as the wind and waves make for a bumpy ride, reflected in a low score of 3.9. Boaters should be cautious, scoring a middling 5 out of 10. The gusts could reach up to 21.2 knots by late afternoon, making it less ideal for a leisurely cruise. Wildlife watchers might find some interest during the minor solunar periods, but with a score of 6.6, it's only slightly above average. Looking ahead, expect similar conditions with increasing chances of rain by mid-week. Winds will pick up slightly, so keep an eye on those forecasts. Best bet for today? Dive into the vibrant blue depths or set sail under the sun—both promise a rewarding experience.
