Pilottown, LA Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today in Pilottown, it's a solid day for boating and fishing, while surfers might want to keep their boards dry. With a boating score of 8.5/10, the calm seas and light northwesterly winds make for a smooth ride, particularly as the waves settle to their calmest at 0.18 meters around 9 PM. Fishing is looking promising with a score of 7.1/10, thanks to favorable solunar periods, particularly from 09:42 to 11:42. The waxing gibbous moon rising at 6:03 PM adds a touch of magic to the evening waters. The air temperature is a toasty 33.8°C by afternoon, with humidity making it feel even warmer. Thankfully, there's no rain on the horizon, and visibility is excellent at 15.7 km. The sea surface temperature is a warm 31.6°C, which is 1.7 degrees above the average, so diving conditions remain steady with a score of 6.6/10. However, the high chlorophyll concentration suggests a bloom, which might limit underwater visibility despite the calm conditions. Surfers, with a score of 4.8/10, will find the waves less exciting today, as the swell remains small at 0.12 meters from the south. Kayakers, on the other hand, will appreciate the gentle conditions with a decent score of 7.1/10, making for a leisurely paddle. Wildlife watchers, scoring 7.3/10, should time their outings with the solunar periods for the best chance of sightings. Looking ahead, the next few days bring a mix of increasing winds and higher chances of rain, particularly on the 28th. Winds will peak tomorrow at 14.6 knots, so today might just be the best day for a relaxed outing on the water. For those seeking the perfect moment, tonight’s calm waters and the moonlit backdrop offer an unforgettable boating experience.
