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

Today at Windmill Point, the water is calling for boaters and paddlers with a top-notch suitability score of 8.8/10 for boating and 7.9/10 for kayaking. The conditions are near-perfect, with wave heights gently rolling between 0.1 to 0.3 meters, ensuring a smooth ride. The calmest seas will greet early risers around midnight, but all day, the waters should remain inviting. While the wind from the east-northeast is mostly mild at 4 knots, it will pick up slightly later tonight, gusting up to 19.4 knots. This increase will likely add a bit of spice to the sailing experience, which scores a decent 6.2/10. So, sailors, make sure your sails are ready for a bit of a workout after dark. For anglers, a fishing score of 5.6/10 suggests a moderate day out there. The solunar periods indicate prime fishing times early in the morning and late in the afternoon. The waxing gibbous moon might not be in your favor, but the tides are gentle, with the highest peak at 0.46 meters just before 8 PM, offering some opportunities to catch what's biting. Divers will find the water temperature a balmy 28.6°C, though the high chlorophyll levels hint at a bloom, which could affect visibility underwater. Despite this, a diving score of 7.1/10 suggests it's still a worthwhile venture if you’re keen to explore beneath the surface. Looking ahead, the weather remains mostly stable with mild temperatures and low chances of rain through the weekend. Expect slightly higher winds on August 25th, which could offer more dynamic conditions for sailors. For the best bet today, grab your paddle and kayak out during the calm wave window. The serene waters and warm temperatures make it a perfect day to glide along the coast and soak in the late summer sun.
