Venice, LA Daily Water Report — August 24, 2026

Today, Venice is rolling out the welcome mat for boaters with an impressive 8.2/10 suitability score. With calm seas and mild winds, it's a prime time to hit the water. The wave heights hover between 0.2 and 0.3 meters, with the calmest period around 5 PM when they dip to 0.18 meters. Perfect for those who prefer a smooth ride. The wind is a gentle westerly breeze at 7 knots, with only a slight uptick to 8 knots in gusts, making it a great day for leisurely sailing too, scoring 7.7/10. For divers, the score remains steady at 6.7/10, the same as yesterday. The water temperature is a warm 31.1°C, and with minimal wave action, visibility should be decent, though the very high chlorophyll levels suggest a bloom that might cloud things up a bit. Fishing isn't quite as promising today, scoring 5.8/10, down from yesterday’s 6.8/10. The solunar periods suggest the best bites might happen between 1:54-3:54 PM. However, the tide's low swing at 7:19 PM could mix things up, so patience might be the name of the game. Surfers, it's not your day, with a meager 4.5/10. The small swells and short periods just won't give you much to ride. On the other hand, kayakers can enjoy a decent paddle with a 6.5/10 score. The light winds and mild currents make for a pleasant day on the water. Looking ahead, expect a bit of everything: temperatures will cool slightly, and rain chances increase later in the week. Winds will stay moderate, and the seas remain fairly calm, promising continued good conditions for boating. Best bet today? Grab your sunscreen and take advantage of the smooth seas for a relaxing boating trip before the gustier winds arrive tonight.
