CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Callao, Peru Daily Water Report — August 24, 2026

Today in Callao, the water's calling, but it's not rolling out the red carpet for everyone. Surfers and divers will find the conditions most inviting, with surfing scoring a solid 7.9/10 and diving an even better 8.2/10. The waves are behaving with a consistent height around 1.12 meters and a gentle 10.35-second period, making it a prime day to catch some smooth rides or explore beneath the surface with ease. Boaters and sailors, however, might find today a bit more of a mixed bag. While the wind is manageable at 8 knots from the south, gusts peaking at nearly 25 knots around 19:00 could make for a bumpy ride, especially for smaller crafts. Boating scores have dipped to 6.1/10, a noticeable drop from yesterday's 7/10, so keep a steady hand on the tiller and watch those gusts. Fishing enthusiasts, patience is the name of the game. With a score of 5.9/10, timing is everything. The solunar major periods between 13:03 and 15:03 might be your best bet to reel in a catch, though without tide data, it's a bit of a guessing game. Kayakers might want to consider a different day for their paddling adventures, as today's conditions only muster a 4.3/10, hampered by the wind and wave dynamics. Wildlife watchers, on the other hand, can enjoy a decent 6.3/10, with the waxing gibbous moon adding a touch of magic to the evening hours. Looking ahead, the coming days promise steady temperatures and minimal chance of rain, with winds easing slightly later in the week. As wave heights are set to increase significantly by the weekend, plan accordingly. For today, those seeking the perfect wave might just find their best bet in the early morning calm—surf's up, Callao!
