Charlotte Amalie, VI Daily Water Report — August 26, 2026

Today's conditions in Charlotte Amalie make for a fine day on the water, with sailing taking the top spot at a stellar 9.2/10. The consistent easterly winds at 13 knots, gusting to 18, provide excellent propulsion for sailing enthusiasts. Diving also enjoys a solid 8.5/10 score thanks to manageable wave heights around 1.1 meters and warm sea surface temperatures of 28.9°C. The low chlorophyll concentration indicates clear waters, enhancing the diving experience. Boating sees a moderate 6.9/10, as the wind and waves, while not overly challenging, require some attention. Surfing conditions are respectable too, with a 7/10 score, driven by wave heights peaking at 1.2 meters and a swell coming from 114 degrees. The calmest wave period is expected around noon, offering a smoother ride for those looking to paddle out. Fishing scores a 6.3/10 with solunar major periods in the early morning and late afternoon, which are prime times to cast your lines. The low tide at 12:33 and high tide at 20:47 will shape today's fishing strategy, though the stable barometric pressure at 1016 hPa doesn't promise any dramatic fish-feeding frenzies. Kayaking is less favorable at 5.6/10 due to the wind and wave conditions, which could make for a bumpy ride. Wildlife watching is slightly better, scoring 6.7/10, with solunar periods offering decent chances to spot some activity. Looking ahead, expect a wetter spell tomorrow with a 72% chance of rain, and winds peaking at 15.8 knots. By the weekend, the wind increases, particularly on the 28th, with gusts reaching 20.8 knots, so plan accordingly. For those ready to set sail, today is your day—hoist the sails and enjoy the ride!
