Windmill Point, VA Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today at Windmill Point, the water's calling for a solid day of boating, with an impressive suitability score of 8.2 out of 10. If you're planning to set sail, expect gentle waves peaking at a mere 0.3 meters, calming down to 0.08 meters around 4 PM. This should make for a smooth ride under mostly clear skies, with the wind blowing a light 5 knots from the west, gusting to 11 knots. It's a perfect setup for a leisurely cruise or a bit of fishing, which sits comfortably at a 6.6 score today. Divers will be pleased with a 7.4 rating, thanks to steady conditions and warm water temperatures of 28.4°C, slightly above the seasonal average. However, high chlorophyll levels indicate a bloom, so clarity might not be top-notch. Surfers, on the other hand, might find today a bit underwhelming with a score of 4.5, as the wave height and period offer little to ride. For wildlife enthusiasts, the score has jumped to 7.8, with solunar periods suggesting increased activity, especially around the major periods of 3:09-5:09 AM and 3:09-5:09 PM. If you're kayaking, the 6.6 score reflects decent conditions, but keep an eye on the wind picking up in the evening. Compared to recent days, today's boating and diving conditions remain consistent, while kayaking has improved slightly from yesterday's 5.2. The barometric pressure is gently dropping from 1018 hPa, hinting at a possible change in weather, but no rain is expected today. Looking ahead, the next few days promise similar conditions with slightly higher temperatures and a low chance of rain. For the best experience today, aim for a late afternoon paddle or boat ride when the waters are at their calmest.
