Cabo San Lucas, BCS Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today in Cabo San Lucas, surfers and wildlife enthusiasts are in for a treat, with scores of 8.1/10 and 8.2/10 respectively. The waves are rolling in at a height of 1.52 meters with a decent period of 10.35 seconds, making for some exciting rides. The swell direction from 160 degrees, combined with the ESE winds, sets up favorable conditions for catching some thrilling waves. While the surfing score is slightly down from yesterday's 8.4, it's still a fantastic day to hit the surf. Wildlife watchers should take advantage of the solunar periods, especially the major one from 14:26 to 16:26, when the combination of wind and low tide proximity can enhance sightings. The wildlife score has improved slightly from 7.9 yesterday, so keep those binoculars handy. If you're planning to head out on a boat or kayak, be prepared for some trade-offs. Boating scores a moderate 5.9/10, unchanged from yesterday, while kayaking is a bit lower at 4.1/10. With winds gusting up to 20 knots, it could be a bumpy ride, particularly in the morning when the strongest gusts are expected. Those venturing out should be cautious of the ocean current moving at 1.2 m/s toward 321 degrees, which could make navigation tricky. Fishing is a decent bet today, scoring 6/10. The solunar major period in the afternoon might offer the best window, so timing your trip could make all the difference. Looking ahead, the next few days bring increasing chances of rain and higher winds, with significant wave action expected mid-week. If you're eyeing a day out on the water, today might be your best bet before conditions become more challenging.
