CatchWindow fishing intelligence

LAWMA, Amerada Pass, LA Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today at Amerada Pass, boating enthusiasts are in for a treat with an impressive score of 8.6 out of 10. Conditions are nearly ideal with light winds ranging from 1.8 to 8.6 knots and waves peaking at a gentle 0.2 meters. The calmest seas will be around midnight, perfect for a serene late-night cruise under the full moon, which rises at 19:47. Kayakers and divers will also find favorable conditions, scoring 7.4 and 7.6 respectively. The warm sea surface temperature of 31.8°C, slightly above average, should make for comfortable paddling and diving experiences. Visibility is a clear 14.7 kilometers, though underwater clarity details aren't specified. Fishing, however, is slightly less promising today at 6.5 out of 10. While the solunar periods suggest some action around midday, the lower tidal range might mean you'll need to work harder for those bites. Surfers might want to look elsewhere with a score of 4.5. The small wave height of 0.12 meters and short period swell aren't doing any favors for catching waves. But if you're just looking to paddle around, it's a peaceful day for it. In comparison to the past few days, today's boating conditions are a slight improvement, while fishing has seen a dip from yesterday's 8.2 rating. Wildlife watchers will be pleased with an 8.3 score, thanks to favorable solunar timing and low-tide proximity. Looking ahead, expect similar boating delight tomorrow, though rain might make an appearance in the evening. The first few days of September bring a chance of rain and slightly higher winds, so plan your outings accordingly. If you're on the fence, tonight's moonlit waters could be your best bet for a memorable excursion.
