Cabo San Lucas, BCS Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

Today in Cabo San Lucas, surfers will find the conditions nearly perfect with a stellar 9.4/10 suitability score. Waves are rolling in at heights up to 1.56 meters with a lengthy period of 13.2 seconds, complemented by a swell from the southwest at 1.16 meters. The wind is blowing at a manageable 6 knots from the west, with gusts peaking at 17.7 knots around 2 PM, which could add a bit of challenge later in the day. Fishing enthusiasts might find the conditions a bit less favorable than they have been recently, with a score of 6.2/10. While the solunar periods suggest some activity, the lack of tide data and the rising barometric pressure might not be helping your odds. If you're heading out, aim for the solunar major periods for the best chance of success. Boaters and sailors should be aware of the moderate wind and wave conditions, with scores of 6.4/10 and 7/10, respectively. The afternoon gusts could make for a more thrilling ride, but also require a bit more caution. The sea surface temperature is a warm 31.6°C, making for a comfortable experience on the water. Kayakers might want to sit this one out with a lower score of 4.6/10, as the combination of wind waves and ocean currents could make paddling a bit strenuous. Divers, on the other hand, enjoy a decent 6.7/10, with relatively clear conditions and warm waters, though the wave action could stir things up a bit. Looking ahead, the weather is expected to bring more rain and slightly increased winds over the next few days, with the potential for higher waves as we move into the weekend. If you’re looking for the best experience today, grab your surfboard and hit the waves—this is the day to catch some memorable rides.
