Charlotte Amalie, VI Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Today's a fantastic day for sailors and divers around Charlotte Amalie, with the sailing score hitting a near-perfect 9.2/10 and diving at an impressive 8.7/10. The steady easterly winds at 11 knots, gusting up to 14, create ideal conditions for those taking to the sails. The wind consistency, paired with manageable wave heights peaking at 0.9 meters, ensures a smooth ride across the waves. Divers will enjoy the warm sea temperatures at 29.4°C and relatively calm waters, particularly around 17:00 when wave heights dip to their lowest at 0.68 meters. For surfers, the day offers decent conditions with a score of 6.5/10. While the waves aren't towering, the 0.84-meter height with a short period may still offer some fun rides. However, surfers might want to time their sessions closer to the afternoon when conditions are slightly calmer. Fishing enthusiasts might find the day slightly less fruitful compared to recent history, with a moderate score of 6.7/10. The solunar major periods early in the morning and mid-afternoon could be your best bet for action, though the low tides and stable barometric pressure might keep the fish a bit elusive. Kayakers should brace for a challenging day with a lower score of 4.8/10, thanks to the persistent wind and ocean currents moving westward at 0.7 m/s. Boaters will fare better with a 7/10 score, as the conditions are more forgiving than in the past few days, providing a good window for a leisurely cruise. Looking ahead, expect similar conditions tomorrow with slightly calmer seas and a 69% chance of rain. The weekend brings a mix of increased winds and wave activity, especially on the 5th and the 8th, when swells could reach up to 1.2 meters. For the best experience today, set sail under the clear skies and enjoy the breezy ride.
