Port Fourchon, Belle Pass, LA Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Today at Port Fourchon, the water is whispering "come sail away." Boating scores a near-perfect 9.2 out of 10, making it the standout activity for the day. With gentle winds ranging from 0.3 to 12.3 knots and waves peaking at a mere 0.4 meters, the conditions are as smooth as they get. The water temperature, a balmy 30.8°C, is perfect for those looking to take a dip off the side of their vessel. For anglers, the fishing score holds steady at 5.8/10. The solunar major periods early in the morning and late afternoon are your best bets to drop a line. While the tide swings from a high of 0.46 meters at 1:32 AM to a low of 0.07 meters at 12:43 PM, the stable barometric pressure at 1016 hPa should keep conditions consistent. Kayakers can also rejoice with an 8.6/10 score, thanks to the calm waters and minimal wind waves, creating an idyllic paddling experience. However, surfers might want to sit this one out, as the surfing score dips to 4.5/10 with the modest swell and short wave period offering little to ride. Diving conditions are decent at 6.7/10, though the high chlorophyll levels suggest limited visibility underwater. Wildlife enthusiasts can expect a fair day with a 6.6/10 score, though the waning gibbous moon might keep some creatures in hiding. Looking ahead, the next few days promise similar temperatures with mild winds and a slight chance of rain increasing towards the weekend. The calm waters persist, making boating and kayaking consistently attractive options. In short, today is a boater's paradise—set sail and let the gentle breeze guide your course.
