Money Point, VA Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

Today at Money Point, it's a banner day for boaters and divers with scores of 8.5 and 8.1 out of 10, respectively. The sea is exceptionally calm, with wave heights barely nudging 0.08 meters, and the ocean temperature is a balmy 30.6°C, making it ideal for a leisurely day on the water. If you're sailing, the southeast winds at 7 knots, gusting to 11, should be just enough to keep things interesting without being overly challenging. Fishing, while not at its peak, is still reasonable with a score of 5.8. The best times to cast your line are during the solunar major periods from 6:16 to 8:16 AM and again in the evening from 6:16 to 8:16 PM, coinciding nicely with the high tide at 6:01 PM. Keep an eye on the barometer, though, as it's slightly falling, which might affect the bite. Surfing enthusiasts might want to sit this one out or bring a longboard, as the waves are a mere 0.08 meters with a short period of 3.25 seconds. It's a gentle day overall, more suited for paddling than catching a ride. Looking ahead, the weather remains warm with only slight variations in wind and a low chance of rain over the next few days. By the weekend, expect a slight uptick in precipitation chances, but nothing that should dampen your plans too much. In sum, if you want to soak up the sun and enjoy the water without much fuss, today's conditions are just about perfect. The calmest moment will be around 1:00 AM, but any time today is a good time to enjoy the gentle embrace of Money Point's coastal waters.
