Aransas, Aransas Pass, TX Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today is a prime day for sailing in Aransas Pass, with a standout score of 9.2/10. The consistent SSW winds at 11 knots, gusting to 16, will keep your sails full and spirits high. While the air feels a bit like a sauna at 31.4°C, the wide-open waters and stable barometric pressure of 1014 hPa make for a smooth ride. For those considering diving, conditions are quite favorable with a score of 7.8/10. The sea surface temperature at 28.8°C is just right, though the slightly below-average SST anomaly might make things a tad brisker than usual. Visibility is strong at nearly 17 km, so you'll have a clear view of the underwater world. Fishing enthusiasts might find the 6.8/10 score a bit middling, but the solunar major periods offer a decent chance to reel in a catch, especially around 10:15 to 12:15. The tides are also in your favor with a high at 06:46, giving you a solid morning window before they drop to zero at 20:06. Surfing and kayaking are less ideal today, with scores of 5.7/10 and 5.1/10, respectively. The waves are peaking at 0.7 meters, calming to 0.44 meters around 3 PM.

Winds will gradually pick up, peaking at 17.2 knots by the end of the month, offering more robust conditions for sailors.
