Cabo San Lucas, BCS Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today's the day for surfers in Cabo San Lucas, with an impressive suitability score of 8.4 out of 10. The waves are rolling in at a solid 1.52 meters with a period of 10.6 seconds, making for some exciting rides. The swell direction from 199 degrees should line up nicely with the local breaks, and the gentle ENE breeze at 4 knots won't interfere much with your session. The waves will calm slightly by 10 p.m., but the best action is earlier in the day. For anglers, the fishing score of 6.4 suggests a decent outing, especially during the solunar major periods from 1:37 to 3:37 a.m. and 1:37 to 3:37 p.m. The waning gibbous moon means plenty of light for night fishing, and with no rain expected, conditions are stable. The rising barometric pressure at 1013 hPa is another positive sign. Sailors might find today less thrilling, with a score of 6.3, thanks to moderate winds peaking in the morning. The boating and kayaking scores of 5.9 and 4.9, respectively, caution against choppy conditions from the persistent swell and ocean currents. It's not the best day for paddling, but if you must, aim for the calmest waters in the evening. Divers can expect reasonable conditions with a score of 6.8. While the water temperature is a toasty 31.3°C, the high chlorophyll levels suggest reduced visibility, so adjust expectations accordingly. Looking ahead, expect a rise in wave activity over the next few days, peaking on September 3rd with swells reaching up to 2.9 meters. Rain chances increase, so keep an eye on the forecast. In a nutshell, grab your board and hit the waves—surf's up, and it's the best bet today!
