CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Port San Luis, CA Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

Today at Port San Luis, divers and surfers have the best opportunities to enjoy the water, with scores of 7.8 and 7.6 out of 10, respectively. The diving conditions are particularly inviting with moderate wave heights and a sea surface temperature of 16.2°C, though the high chlorophyll levels might impact underwater visibility. Surfers can expect some decent action with wave heights around 1.6 meters and a steady swell coming from 291 degrees. Fishing scores a 6.4, slightly down from the previous days, likely due to the absence of tide data which can be crucial for timing. However, the solunar periods suggest the best bites might happen around noon. The full moon tonight could also stir up some interesting evening action, although it's not peak fishing time. Sailors and boaters should be prepared for north-northwest winds ranging up to 10 knots, with gusts peaking at 14 knots later in the evening. Sailing scores a respectable 6.8, while boating is a bit lower at 5.8, mainly due to the wave conditions. Kayakers, at a 4.9, might find the current and wind waves a bit challenging today. Wildlife watchers should keep their eyes peeled during the solunar periods, especially around dusk. With a wildlife score of 7.9, there's potential for some good sightings, particularly as the sun sets and the moon rises. Looking ahead, the next few days bring a mix of conditions. Winds will pick up tomorrow, with a peak at 17.9 knots, and wave heights remain around the same range. By the end of the week, we can expect calmer seas, with wave heights dropping to around 1.0 meters. For those planning ahead, Saturday's dropping wave heights might offer the best bet for a peaceful day on the water.
