LAWMA, Amerada Pass, LA Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today at Amerada Pass, the water conditions sit in a moderate range for most activities. Boaters and divers will find the best opportunities, with scores of 7.2 and 7.3 out of 10, respectively. Diving conditions are stable thanks to moderate wave heights averaging around 0.74 meters and a comfortable sea surface temperature of 31.1°C. For boaters, the wind is a manageable 6 knots from the northeast, although gusts might reach up to 22.5 knots early in the day, so keep that in mind if you're planning to head out. Fishing and kayaking enthusiasts will find their activities scoring around 6 to 6.5 out of 10. The solunar periods suggest the best fishing windows are early morning between 3:10 and 5:10 AM or later in the afternoon from 3:10 to 5:10 PM. However, the tidal movements today are not particularly dramatic, with a minor tidal range that might not stir up much activity. Surfing is not in its prime today, with a score of 6.2 out of 10. The wave period is short, and the swell is minimal at 0.12 meters coming from the south. Surfers should look for other activities or head out during the calmest period near 11 PM when waves will dip to 0.44 meters. In comparison to recent days, today’s conditions are slightly less favorable for boating and kayaking, which saw higher scores earlier in the week. The weather is warm and humid, with temperatures feeling close to 30°C, so stay hydrated and take breaks if needed. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to become calmer and potentially more favorable for water activities as wave heights decrease significantly from tomorrow onward. For the best bet today, consider a late afternoon dive when the waters are expected to be relatively calm and the visibility decent.
