Cabo San Lucas, BCS Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today in Cabo San Lucas, surfers rejoice! With a robust surfing score of 9.1 out of 10, the waves are calling your name. Expect consistent swells around 1.8 meters, with a period of almost 12 seconds, making for some thrilling rides. The swell coming from 200 degrees pairs perfectly with a gentle westerly breeze, peaking at 18.7 knots this afternoon. For those looking to cast a line, fishing scores a respectable 6.4. While the solunar tables suggest some activity peaks around midday, the lack of tide data might throw a curveball. The full moon tonight could make for an interesting night fishing experience, as it rises at 19:00. Boaters and sailors can expect decent conditions with scores of 6.5 and 6.8, respectively. The wind is moderate, but be mindful of the strongest gusts around 15:00. Visibility is excellent at nearly 29 kilometers, perfect for exploring the coastline, but keep an eye on the sky as there's a rain window from noon to 17:00. Kayakers might find the 5.2 score a bit discouraging, with wind and ocean currents providing a challenge. Divers, scoring 6.5, will enjoy warm waters at 31.6°C, though the surface waves might make entry and exit a bit tricky. Compared to recent days, surfing remains top-notch, but fishing and kayaking are slightly less favorable. The SST anomaly of +2.8°C hints at warmer-than-usual waters, which could affect marine life patterns. Looking ahead, expect a wet week with high chances of rain and increasing winds. Waves will build significantly by September 2nd, peaking at 3.1 meters, creating potential hazards but also opportunities for experienced surfers. For the best window today, grab your board and hit the surf before the afternoon gusts pick up.
