CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Callao, Peru Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today's conditions in Callao harbor are a mixed bag, with surfing taking the crown at a solid 8.8/10. The waves are rolling in at 1.74 meters with a pleasant 9.45-second interval, which should delight surfers looking for a good ride. The swell direction from 221 degrees pairs well with the southeast winds, making this a prime day to hit the surf. For those looking to sail, conditions are decent with a 7.4/10 score. The winds are steady from the southeast at around 9 knots, gusting to 22 knots, which might offer a spirited sail. However, the gusts peaking at 26.6 knots around midday could make things a bit lively, so keep an eye on your sails. Fishing and diving both score a respectable 6.5/10. While solunar periods suggest some fishing activity, the absence of tide data adds a layer of unpredictability. Divers can expect stable conditions with a sea surface temperature of 21.7°C, but the cloud cover at 98% might limit visibility. Boaters and kayakers face more challenging conditions with scores of 5.1/10 and 3.8/10, respectively. The wave height and wind gusts might make for a bumpy ride, especially for kayakers. The ocean current at 0.7 m/s towards 346 degrees could add to the challenge, so exercise caution if you're venturing out on smaller vessels. Looking ahead, the weather remains stable with temperatures hovering between 18.6°C and 23.8°C over the next few days. Winds are expected to ease slightly, and no rain is forecast, making for a pleasant start to September. In summary, if you're looking for action, grab your board and hit the waves today. For everyone else, keep an eye on those wind gusts and enjoy the harbor's ever-changing moods.
