CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Cabo San Lucas, BCS Daily Water Report — August 27, 2026

Today in Cabo San Lucas, the conditions are solidly suitable for a range of water activities, with surfing taking the lead at 8.2/10. The waves are inviting, sitting in the 1.2-1.5m range with a decent period of 10.25 seconds, which should offer surfers some nice rides. The wind is moderate at 6 knots from the WNW, gusting to 11, which keeps the water choppy enough for excitement without becoming overwhelming. For those angling for a good catch, fishing scores a respectable 7.4/10. The solunar major periods, especially between 5:40 and 7:40 AM, are prime times to cast your line, aligning nicely with the morning high tide at 9:53. The barometric pressure is on a gentle decline, which might have fish more active, though keep in mind the current is moving at 0.2 m/s toward 270 degrees, so plan your drift accordingly. Boaters and paddlers will find today decent, with boating scoring 7.5/10 and kayaking at 6.5/10. The sea surface temperature is a balmy 31.8°C, thanks to a +2.9°C anomaly, making for a warm and pleasant day on the water. However, keep an eye on the stronger gusts predicted later tonight, peaking at 21.8 knots around 11 PM. Visibility is exceptional at over 39 km, and with no rain forecast, it's a great day for wildlife spotting, scoring a high 8.7/10. The waxing gibbous moon, nearly full, will light the way for any nocturnal adventures. Looking ahead, expect increasing wave heights and swell over the next few days, with rain chances ramping up significantly by the weekend. So, if you're planning to hit the water, today might be your best bet to enjoy the calm before the storm.
