Good morning Hampton!

It is Saturday, June 13, 2026, and Green Wave Watersports opens at 10 AM today.

After the extreme heat of the last few days, temperatures have finally settled back into a much more comfortable range. Overall, this is shaping up to be a beautiful day at Buckroe Beach.

10 AM
Temperature: 83 degrees
Feels like: 88 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: North northeast around 9 mph, gusts near 15 mph

1 PM
Temperature: 86 degrees
Feels like: 94 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: Northeast around 9 mph, gusts near 15 mph

4 PM
Temperature: 87 degrees
Feels like: 90 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: East northeast around 8 mph, gusts near 15 mph

7 PM
Temperature: 84 degrees
Feels like: 83 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: East around 9 mph, gusts near 13 mph

The beach should be very pleasant today. Unlike the last few days, the breeze will be coming off the Chesapeake Bay, helping keep temperatures comfortable throughout the afternoon. While it will still be warm, it won't have the intense heat we've experienced recently.

Water conditions remain the big question. The morning should offer the best conditions for paddle sports and eFoil lessons. As the day goes on and the wind shifts from north to east, the Bay will begin to develop more texture and become a bit choppier, especially during the afternoon and evening hours.

If you're planning to get on the water, earlier will likely be better. If you're planning to relax on the beach, today's easterly breeze should make for a much more comfortable experience than we've seen lately.

The UV index peaks at 11.1 around 1 PM and remains very high through much of the afternoon. Sunscreen, hydration, and shade breaks are still important even with the cooler breeze.

Tides today:

High tide: 7:57 AM at 2.35 feet

Low tide: 2:04 PM at -0.07 feet

High tide: 8:24 PM at 3.23 feet

The water temperature at Buckroe Fishing Pier is 79 degrees. We will have 14 hours and 41 minutes of daylight today, with sunset at 8:26 PM. Air quality is fair.

To close the day, the moon is a waning crescent with 3% illumination.

Have a great Saturday, Hampton!

Good morning Hampton!

It is Friday, June 12, 2026, and Green Wave Watersports opens at 10 AM today.

The story today is the heat. A Heat Advisory is in effect from 11 AM through 8 PM, and this could be one of the hottest days of the year so far at Buckroe Beach.

10 AM
Temperature: 84 degrees
Feels like: 93 degrees
Conditions: Partly sunny
Wind: West around 8 mph, gusts near 14 mph

1 PM
Temperature: 95 degrees
Feels like: 107 degrees
Conditions: Partly sunny
Wind: West southwest around 8 mph, gusts near 16 mph

4 PM
Temperature: 100 degrees
Feels like: 106 degrees
Conditions: Partly sunny
Wind: South southwest around 8 mph, gusts near 18 mph

7 PM
Temperature: 94 degrees
Feels like: 93 degrees
Conditions: Possible thunderstorms
Rain chance: 51%
Wind: South around 8 mph, gusts near 20 mph

Despite the heat, today is shaping up to be an excellent day for paddle sports and eFoil lessons. Winds remain light and predominantly out of the west through much of the day, which should keep conditions favorable on the Bay.

After about 4 PM, winds begin shifting more to the south. That could add a little texture to the water, but it may also provide a welcome breeze coming off the Chesapeake Bay during the hottest part of the afternoon.

If you're heading to the beach today, take the heat seriously. Afternoon temperatures approach 100 degrees, while the heat index is expected to hover between 105 and 108 degrees for several hours. Stay hydrated, take frequent breaks in the shade, and make sure you're applying sunscreen throughout the day.

The UV index peaks at 11.1 around 1 PM and remains very high for much of the afternoon.

There is also a possibility of thunderstorms during the evening hours, with the highest chances arriving around 7 PM. We'll see if the Buckroe Bubble can keep us dry one more time.

Tides today:

Low tide: 1:07 PM at 0.00 feet

High tide: 7:26 PM at 3.11 feet

The water temperature at Buckroe Fishing Pier is 78 degrees. We will have 14 hours and 40 minutes of daylight today, with sunset at 8:25 PM. Air quality is fair.

To close the day, the moon is a waning crescent with 9% illumination.

Have a great Friday, Hampton!

Good morning Hampton!

It is Thursday, June 11, 2026, and Green Wave Watersports opens at 10 AM today.

The story at Buckroe Beach today is the heat. A Heat Advisory is in effect from 11 AM through 8 PM, and this is shaping up to be one of the hottest days we've seen so far this season.

10 AM
Temperature: 83 degrees
Feels like: 93 degrees
Conditions: Partly sunny
Wind: West southwest around 9 mph, gusts near 16 mph

1 PM
Temperature: 91 degrees
Feels like: 105 degrees
Conditions: Intermittent clouds
Wind: West southwest around 7 mph, gusts near 15 mph

4 PM
Temperature: 96 degrees
Feels like: 104 degrees
Conditions: Intermittent clouds
Wind: South around 7 mph, gusts near 8 mph

7 PM
Temperature: 90 degrees
Feels like: 90 degrees
Conditions: Possible thunderstorms
Rain chance: 51%
Wind: South southwest around 10 mph, gusts near 13 mph

While the heat will be the headline, today is also shaping up to be a very good day to get on the water. Winds remain predominantly out of the west for much of the day, which is generally what we like to see at Buckroe Beach. Water conditions should be favorable for paddle sports and eFoil lessons through most of the afternoon.

We already have a busy day on the books, but there is always room for a few more people to get out and enjoy the Chesapeake Bay.

If you're heading to the beach, this is a day to take the heat seriously. The heat index is expected to climb above 100 degrees this afternoon, peaking around 105 to 106 degrees between 1 PM and 3 PM. Stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and make sure you're using sunscreen.

There is also a chance of thunderstorms later in the evening. Current forecasts show storm chances increasing after 5 PM and peaking around sunset, so we'll keep an eye on conditions as the day progresses.

Tides today:

Low tide: 12:11 PM at 0.08 feet

High tide: 6:30 PM at 2.95 feet

The water temperature at Buckroe Fishing Pier is 76 degrees. We will have 14 hours and 40 minutes of daylight today, with sunset at 8:25 PM. Air quality is fair.

To close the day, the moon is a waning crescent with 17% illumination.

Have a great Thursday, Hampton!

Update: Due to the incoming storm this evening, we made the decision to close at 5pm. See you tomorrow!

Good morning Hampton!

It is Wednesday, June 10, 2026, and Green Wave Watersports opens at noon today.

Today is one of those days where wind direction matters more than anything else. If the wind stays more west southwest, we may have workable conditions for water sports at Buckroe Beach. If it shifts more south, especially with the wind speeds currently forecast, it could effectively take water sports off the table for the day.

10 AM
Temperature: 79 degrees
Feels like: 83 degrees
Conditions: Intermittent clouds
Wind: Southwest around 12 mph, gusts near 18 mph

1 PM
Temperature: 86 degrees
Feels like: 92 degrees
Conditions: Intermittent clouds
Wind: Southwest around 13 mph, gusts near 23 mph

4 PM
Temperature: 90 degrees
Feels like: 93 degrees
Conditions: Intermittent clouds
Wind: Southwest around 15 mph, gusts near 27 mph

6 PM
Temperature: 87 degrees
Feels like: 85 degrees
Conditions: Possible thunderstorms
Rain chance: 51%
Wind: Southwest around 14 mph, gusts near 22 mph

The biggest story today is the wind direction. The forecast keeps winds out of the southwest, which is generally workable at Buckroe Beach. However, if those winds shift more south than west, conditions on the Bay could deteriorate quickly. Combined with gusts approaching 30 mph later in the day, a more southerly wind could make water sports operations impractical.

There is also a possibility of thunderstorms later in the day. Current forecasts show around a 50% chance of storms developing between 5 PM and 8 PM. We will monitor conditions while on site and make operational decisions based on what develops.

The intermittent cloud cover helps keep the UV index lower than some recent clear-sky days. The UV index peaks around 6.4 during the afternoon, which is still high. Sunscreen, hydration, and shade breaks are recommended.

Tide times for Buckroe Beach today:

Low tide: 11:16 AM at 0.15 feet

High tide: 5:31 PM at 2.77 feet

The water temperature at Buckroe Fishing Pier is 76 degrees. We will have 14 hours and 40 minutes of daylight today, with sunset at 8:25 PM. Air quality is fair.

To close the day, the moon is a waning crescent with 26% illumination.

Have a great Wednesday, Hampton!

Good morning Hampton!

It is Tuesday, June 9, 2026, and Green Wave Watersports is closed today for our final scheduled Tuesday off. Beginning next week, we will be operating seven days a week for the summer season.

Today is shaping up to be a very pleasant beach day at Buckroe Beach. Temperatures stay comfortable, skies remain partly sunny, and there is no precipitation in the forecast.

10 AM
Temperature: 68 degrees
Feels like: 73 degrees
Conditions: Intermittent clouds
Wind: East southeast around 6 mph, gusts near 8 mph

1 PM
Temperature: 74 degrees
Feels like: 81 degrees
Conditions: Partly sunny
Wind: East around 8 mph, gusts near 13 mph

4 PM
Temperature: 76 degrees
Feels like: 79 degrees
Conditions: Partly sunny
Wind: East around 10 mph, gusts near 17 mph

7 PM
Temperature: 75 degrees
Feels like: 74 degrees
Conditions: Partly sunny
Wind: Southeast around 10 mph, gusts near 14 mph

The biggest story today is how comfortable it will feel on the beach. Winds will be coming off the water for most of the day, providing a nice breeze and keeping temperatures from feeling overly hot.

There will be some texture on the water since the wind is coming from the east and southeast. It will not be completely flat, but conditions are far better than what we experienced yesterday.

Only during the middle of the day, roughly from noon through 3 PM, will it feel around 80 degrees. Outside of that window, conditions should feel very comfortable along the shoreline.

The UV index peaks at 11.1 around 1 PM, which is extreme. Just because it does not feel excessively hot does not mean the sun cannot catch up with you. Take breaks in the shade, stay hydrated, and make sure you are using sunscreen.

Tide times for Buckroe Beach today:

Low tide: 10:22 AM at 0.20 feet

High tide: 4:32 PM at 2.60 feet

Low tide: 11:17 PM at 0.33 feet

The water temperature at Buckroe Fishing Pier is 75 degrees. We will have 14 hours and 39 minutes of daylight today, with sunset at 8:24 PM. Air quality is fair.

To close the day, the moon is a waning crescent with 37% illumination.

Have a great Tuesday, Hampton!

Good morning Hampton!

It is Monday, June 8, 2026, and Green Wave Watersports is closed today for our scheduled day off.

Today is going to look a lot better than it feels.

The forecast calls for sunshine and mostly sunny skies throughout the day, but strong northeast and east northeast winds will dominate from morning through evening. Unfortunately, east northeast is about the worst wind direction Buckroe Beach can get, and it is going to make for very rough water conditions throughout the day.

10 AM
Temperature: 75 degrees
Feels like: 76 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: Northeast around 15 mph, gusts near 29 mph

1 PM
Temperature: 74 degrees
Feels like: 78 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: East northeast around 16 mph, gusts near 30 mph

4 PM
Temperature: 72 degrees
Feels like: 73 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: East northeast around 15 mph, gusts near 29 mph

7 PM
Temperature: 68 degrees
Feels like: 66 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: East northeast around 14 mph, gusts near 27 mph

The biggest story today is the wind. Sustained winds around 15 to 16 mph and gusts approaching 30 mph are expected for most of the day. The Bay will be very rough, and beachgoers may even see blowing sand at times.

While temperatures will stay in the 70s, the wind coming off the water will make it feel noticeably cooler than recent days. If you are heading to the beach, expect a strong breeze all day long.

The UV index peaks at 11.1 around 1 PM, which is extreme. Even though temperatures are cooler, sunscreen is still a must.

Tide times for Buckroe Beach today:

Low tide: 9:32 AM at 0.25 feet

High tide: 3:36 PM at 2.46 feet

Low tide: 10:13 PM at 0.40 feet

The water temperature at Buckroe Fishing Pier is 75 degrees. We will have 14 hours and 38 minutes of daylight today, with sunset at 8:23 PM. Air quality is fair.

Even this evening, conditions remain breezy with gusts still around 25 to 27 mph and temperatures falling into the upper 60s. If you're planning an evening walk along the beach, a sweatshirt or light jacket would not be a bad idea.

To close the day, the moon is in its last quarter phase with 47% illumination.

Have a great windy Monday, Hampton!

Good morning Hampton!

It is Sunday, June 7, 2026, and Green Wave Watersports opens at 10 AM today.

Today could bring both the best and worst of Buckroe Beach.

For the morning and early afternoon, conditions are shaping up to be about as good as you can ask for. Expect sunshine, light west and southwest winds, hot temperatures, and calm water. If you're looking to paddle, kayak, or take an eFoil lesson, the first half of the day looks excellent.

10 AM
Temperature: 84 degrees
Feels like: 87 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: West southwest around 9 mph, gusts near 16 mph

1 PM
Temperature: 90 degrees
Feels like: 97 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: West southwest around 9 mph, gusts near 14 mph

4 PM
Temperature: 91 degrees
Feels like: 94 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: West around 9 mph, gusts near 13 mph

7 PM
Temperature: 85 degrees
Feels like: 86 degrees
Conditions: Possible thunderstorms
Rain chance: 51%
Wind: West around 7 mph, gusts near 8 mph

The biggest story during the day will be the heat and sun. Temperatures climb into the 90s, and it will feel close to 100 degrees during the afternoon. The UV index peaks at 11.1 around 1 PM, which is extreme. Take breaks in the shade, stay hydrated, and use sunscreen.

The forecast becomes much more uncertain late in the day. As winds shift from southwest to west and northwest, there is a window for stronger storms to develop between roughly 5 PM and 7 PM. Current forecasts show around a 50% chance of thunderstorms during that time, and some of those storms could be very significant.

We will keep a close eye on conditions throughout the afternoon. If you rent shade equipment from us, we will monitor the weather to make sure everyone has time to get off the beach safely if storms begin moving in.

If you set up your own umbrellas, tents, or canopies this morning, do not set up too close to the water. High tide is at 2:47 PM, so the tide will be coming in through the afternoon. If you set up too close early, you may end up having to move back later.

Tide times for Buckroe Beach today:

Low tide: 8:46 AM at 0.28 feet

High tide: 2:47 PM at 2.35 feet

Low tide: 9:13 PM at 0.44 feet

The water temperature at Buckroe Fishing Pier is 74 degrees. We will have 14 hours and 37 minutes of daylight today, with sunset at 8:23 PM.

To close the day, the moon is a waning gibbous with 58% illumination.

Have a great Sunday, Hampton!

Good morning Hampton!

It is Saturday, June 6, 2026, and Green Wave Watersports opens at 10 AM today.

Today is shaping up to be another hot beach day at Buckroe Beach. Expect sunshine all day, temperatures climbing into the 90s, and very strong UV levels during the afternoon.

Water conditions should be fairly good for paddle sports and eFoil lessons. Winds will be coming primarily from the west southwest, which is generally a favorable direction for Buckroe Beach. That said, there are some significant wind gusts in the forecast today. The water should stay calmer near shore, but you may notice more chop the farther you get away from the beach. You could also see some additional movement on the water as we approach high tide around 2 PM as the current begins moving north.

10 AM
Temperature: 82 degrees
Feels like: 83 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: West southwest around 15 mph, gusts near 24 mph

1 PM
Temperature: 90 degrees
Feels like: 94 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: Southwest around 16 mph, gusts near 28 mph

4 PM
Temperature: 95 degrees
Feels like: 95 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: Southwest around 16 mph, gusts near 29 mph

7 PM
Temperature: 90 degrees
Feels like: 87 degrees
Conditions: Mostly sunny
Wind: Southwest around 15 mph, gusts near 23 mph

The biggest story today is the heat. Temperatures climb into the 90s this afternoon, and it will feel even warmer in direct sunlight. Make sure you stay hydrated throughout the day.

The UV index peaks at 11.1 around 1 PM, which is extreme. Sunscreen, shade breaks, and proper sun protection are strongly recommended.

With gusts approaching 30 mph at times, make sure umbrellas, tents, and other beach equipment are properly secured. The last thing anyone wants is an umbrella taking a trip down the beach on a busy Saturday.

Air quality is expected to reach the poor category during portions of the afternoon, which may impact people with respiratory sensitivities.

Tide times for Buckroe Beach today:

Low tide: 8:03 AM at 0.30 feet

High tide: 2:03 PM at 2.27 feet

Low tide: 8:16 PM at 0.45 feet

The water temperature at Buckroe Fishing Pier is 73 degrees. We will have 14 hours and 36 minutes of daylight today, with sunset at 8:22 PM.

Have a great Saturday, Hampton!
