Freeport Harbor, TX Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

Today's conditions at Freeport Harbor are a mixed bag, but there's something for everyone. Sailing enthusiasts, this is your day with a stellar score of 9.2/10. The steady southern winds at 11 knots offer just enough push without being too aggressive. Boaters and divers are also in for a treat, with scores of 7.9 and 8.1, respectively. The calm seas, with waves peaking at just 0.5 meters, promise a smooth ride and decent underwater visibility. Fishing scores a respectable 7.8, driven by favorable solunar periods this morning and evening. The major period from 7:36 to 9:36 AM is likely your best bet, with the waxing gibbous moon lending a hand. However, with the low tide not hitting until 6:07 PM, you might find the fish a bit elusive during the afternoon. Kayakers should take note of the wind, as gusts could reach nearly 16 knots by late evening. While the 6.3 score isn't the highest, early morning or late afternoon paddles will be more manageable. Surfers, on the other hand, might want to sit this one out. With a score of 4.9, the short 3.65-second wave periods and modest 0.44-meter height won't offer much thrill. Despite the high chlorophyll levels indicating good baitfish activity, don't expect this to translate directly to wildlife sightings. The wildlife score sits at 6.7, suggesting some action but nothing too spectacular. Looking ahead, the next few days bring slightly cooler temperatures and a consistent wind pattern, with no significant precipitation in sight. Waves are expected to remain moderate, peaking slightly toward the weekend. For the best experience today, set sail with the wind in your favor, or dive into the warm 31.8°C waters for a clear view of the marine life below.
