Calcasieu Pass, LA Daily Water Report — September 3, 2026

Today's conditions at Calcasieu Pass offer a mixed bag for water enthusiasts. Boating stands out with a solid 7.7/10 suitability score, thanks to manageable wind speeds and wave heights. The calmest waters will be around 9 PM, with waves dipping to 0.3 meters, making it an excellent evening for a leisurely cruise. Fishing and surfing both clock in at 5.4/10, indicating moderate conditions. Anglers might find the solunar major period from 5:10 to 7:10 AM the best window to cast a line, aligning with high tide at 5:08 AM. However, the very high chlorophyll levels suggest a bloom, which might complicate visibility and water quality. Surfers will face short-period waves peaking at 0.54 meters, which isn't ideal but could still offer some fun rides for the undeterred. Sailors have a reasonable day ahead with a 7.3/10 score. The wind is steady from the south at 8 knots, gusting to 12, providing enough breeze without being overly challenging. Kayakers and divers can also enjoy the day with scores of 7/10 and 6.6/10, respectively. Water temperatures are warm at 31.1°C, which is slightly above average but should make for comfortable paddling and diving. Compared to recent days, today's conditions are stable, with a slight improvement in kayaking and boating scores. The absence of rain and a stable barometric pressure at 1014 hPa adds to the day's appeal. Looking ahead, expect a slight cooling trend with temperatures ranging from 24 to 33°C over the next week. Winds will remain moderate, and there's a rising chance of rain, peaking at 66% on September 5th. Marine conditions are likely to calm further, with wave heights dropping to 0.1 meters by the weekend. Best bet for today? Take advantage of the evening's calm waters for a serene boating experience.
