CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Callao, Peru Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today's waters around Callao are a mixed bag, but surfers are in for a treat with a stellar 9/10 suitability score. The swells are rolling in at 1.78 meters with a decent period of 10.5 seconds, making for some exhilarating rides. Winds are manageable at 6 knots from the east-southeast, though gusts could reach 21.6 knots by mid-afternoon, so be prepared for a bit of a challenge as the day progresses. If you're heading out for a paddle or a sail, it's a decent day with scores hovering around the 6.3 mark. The wind and wave combination is moderate, but the gusts could make things sporty, especially in the afternoon. Boaters and kayakers should keep an eye on the waves, which are peaking at around 2.2 meters. The calmest conditions are expected late in the evening, just shy of midnight. Fishing is slightly down from yesterday with a 6.3/10 score, possibly due to the lack of tidal data and the relatively high barometric pressure, which is rising today. The full moon might not be doing anglers any favors with its bright glow. Wildlife watchers, however, should find the solunar periods promising, maintaining a steady score of 6.8/10. Comparing to recent days, surfing remains consistently high, though diving has dipped from its usual 8+ scores, likely due to visibility challenges with just over a kilometer of atmospheric clarity. Looking ahead, conditions should stabilize with slightly calmer seas and continued dry weather well into next week. For those planning their next adventure, aim for early mornings or late evenings when the winds are lighter and the waters more serene. Remember, today’s best bet is to grab your surfboard and catch those waves before the winds pick up!
