CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Lameshur Bay, St John, VI Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today, Lameshur Bay is serving up a mixed bag of conditions, with sailing coming out on top at an impressive 8.2/10. The steady ESE winds, averaging 12 knots and gusting to 17, provide excellent propulsion, though sailors should remain vigilant for gusts peaking at 28.4 knots earlier this morning. Surfing is also a decent bet with a 7.4/10 score, thanks to the 1.36-meter wave height and favorable swell direction. If you’re planning to catch some waves, aim for the calmer evening hours when wave height dips to 1.14 meters around 11 PM. Fishing and diving both score a solid 7/10 today. The solunar periods suggest early risers might have the best luck, especially during the major period from 1:31 to 3:31 AM. Divers will appreciate the warm 29.4°C sea surface temperature, although visibility might be a concern with the 99% cloud cover and reduced atmospheric visibility at just over 4 km. Boaters and kayakers face more of a challenge, with scores of 5.4/10 and 4.6/10, respectively. The combination of choppy waves and persistent rain throughout the day makes for a less than ideal outing. If you do venture out, the late evening promises the smoothest waters and a slight reprieve from the rain. Compared to recent days, conditions are a bit rougher, particularly for kayakers, who enjoyed slightly higher scores earlier in the week. Looking ahead, the forecast suggests a gradual calming of the seas, with wave heights tapering off to as low as 0.7 meters by September 3rd. For the best experience today, hoist those sails and enjoy the ride while keeping an eye on the sky for sudden gusts.
