Lameshur Bay, St John, VI Daily Water Report — August 24, 2026

Today offers a mixed bag of opportunities at Lameshur Bay. Sailing enthusiasts will find the conditions quite favorable, with a solid score of 8.2 out of 10. The consistent easterly wind at 13 knots, gusting to 17, should make for an exhilarating day on the water, though expect the strongest gusts around 16:00. Divers and anglers also have reason to smile, scoring 7.4 and 7.9 respectively. The water is a warm 29.4°C, with visibility stretching over 33 km, and no rain in sight, making for clear and comfortable conditions. Boaters and surfers face a bit more of a challenge. With wave heights hovering around 1 meter and peaking at 1.1 meters, conditions are manageable but not ideal, reflected in a moderate boating score of 6.2 and surfing at 6.9. The morning offers the calmest seas, with the lowest wave height just before dawn at 0.98 meters, so early birds might catch the smoothest ride. Kayakers might find the conditions a bit too choppy, with a score of 5.5 reflecting the wind and wave dynamics. Compared to recent days, fishing has seen a notable improvement from 5.5 to 7.9, thanks to favorable solunar periods and stable barometric pressure. The waxing gibbous moon and major solunar periods in the late afternoon should further enhance your chances of a good catch. Looking ahead, the next few days see a slight uptick in wave heights and wind speeds, with a chance of rain increasing mid-week. If you’re planning activities, consider the early mornings for the calmest conditions. Best bet for today? Hit the water around the solunar major periods for prime fishing, or unfurl those sails for a thrilling afternoon ride.
