Port San Luis, CA Daily Water Report — August 26, 2026

Today at Port San Luis, the water's calling, and it's mostly a thumbs-up for your ocean activities. With diving leading the pack at a solid 7.9/10, the conditions are pretty favorable for getting underwater. The calmest waves around 07:00 at 1.32 meters make for a decent start to the day, especially for divers and those looking to enjoy some early morning boating or kayaking. The water temperature is slightly warmer than usual, which should make for a comfortable dip. Boaters and sailors will find a steady northerly breeze at 7 knots, gusting up to 22.5 knots by evening. This is a marked improvement for sailors compared to yesterday's lackluster 4.6/10, now climbing to a respectable 7.5/10. Just be prepared for those stronger gusts later in the day. Fishing scores a 7/10, with solunar peaks around midday and late evening aligning nicely with the high tides. While the fishing score has dipped slightly from yesterday's 7.8/10, the waxing gibbous moon and high chlorophyll levels suggest good conditions for those casting their lines. Surfing sees a solid 7.4/10, with wave heights peaking at around 1.6 meters. The swell coming from 296 degrees at 4.85 seconds provides decent rides, though not quite as thrilling as yesterday's 8.3/10. Kayakers might find it a bit more challenging today, with a score of 6.1/10 due to the increased wave activity and wind. Looking ahead, temperatures are set to cool slightly over the next few days, with winds decreasing gradually. However, wave heights are expected to increase, especially on the 29th, promising some exciting conditions for surfers. Best bet today? Dive in early for the calmest conditions and enjoy the warm water before the winds pick up.
