CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Eagle Point, Galveston Bay, TX Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today is a prime day for boating and kayaking in Galveston Bay, with scores of 9.2/10 and 8.7/10 respectively. The relatively calm wave conditions, peaking at just 0.5 meters, and moderate winds averaging around 4 knots from the WSW make for smooth sailing. The calmest seas will grace you around 1 PM, offering a perfect midday window to hit the water. While the fishing score is a solid 7.7/10, anglers should plan around the solunar major period from 10:06 to 12:06 for the best chances. The waxing gibbous moon suggests a bit of night fishing could be fruitful too, with another major period peaking late at 10:06 PM. However, the chlorophyll concentration is notably high at 5.78 mg/m³, indicating a bloom that might affect water clarity. Surfing enthusiasts might want to wait for another day, as the waves are modest with a score of 5/10. Short wave periods and low swells from 166 degrees aren't doing much to excite the surf scene. Diving conditions hold steady at 6.8/10, unchanged from previous days. The high humidity and air temperatures peaking at 31.8°C might make the water feel more refreshing, but the clarity could be compromised by the chlorophyll bloom. Looking ahead, temperatures will remain warm, with a slight increase in wind speeds expected over the coming days. Rain chances are low, so conditions should remain fairly stable. If you're planning a day on the bay, the best bet is to set sail or paddle today before the wind picks up later in the week.
