Windmill Point, VA Daily Water Report — September 3, 2026

Today at Windmill Point, boating enthusiasts will find near-perfect conditions with a stellar score of 9.1/10. The water is a placid sheet, with wave heights barely registering above 0.1m and a gentle WSW breeze peaking at just 11.4 knots. It’s a day where you could almost forget you're on the coast, as the water behaves more like a serene lake. Kayakers will also find a near dreamlike experience with a solid 8.5/10, thanks to the calm waters and minimal wind interference. The early morning hours around 05:00 are particularly inviting, with the calmest seas of the day. Fishing conditions, while not outstanding, are decent at 5.8/10. The solunar tables suggest the best bites might come during the major period from 04:59 to 06:59, but the high chlorophyll levels could complicate things with a dense bloom clouding the waters. Divers have a respectable 7.1/10, though the very high chlorophyll concentration could reduce underwater visibility, so choose your spots wisely. Surfers, unfortunately, will find little to ride today with a score of 4.5/10, as the waves are more suitable for a gentle paddle than catching any significant breaks. Compared to recent days, today’s conditions are a standout for boating and kayaking. Yesterday's slightly stronger winds have eased, making today a top pick for those activities. The water temperature remains warm, sitting comfortably at 28.7°C, though it's running a bit hotter than usual by about 2.8°C. Looking ahead, the weather will start to shift with increasing winds and a chance of rain tomorrow. So, if you’re looking to get on the water, today is your best bet. With the mercury climbing to a toasty 32.3°C under clear skies, it's a perfect day to soak up the sun and enjoy the gentle embrace of the Chesapeake Bay.
