Galveston Bay Entrance, North Jetty, TX Daily Water Report — September 3, 2026

Today at the Galveston Bay Entrance, North Jetty, the waters are calling sailors to take the helm. With a robust sailing score of 7.9/10, today's conditions are prime for a smooth sail. Winds from the south at 10 knots, gusting to 16, promise a lively but manageable ride, with the best window in the late afternoon as the breeze peaks. Boaters will also find favorable conditions, scoring a decent 6.8/10, though they should keep an eye on the gusts, particularly around 19:00. For those looking to fish, it's a day of patience over action. The fishing score holds steady at 5.4/10, unchanged from the past couple of days. The solunar tables suggest early morning or late afternoon as your best bet, aligning with the major periods from 05:15 to 07:15 and 17:15 to 19:15. However, a low tide at 14:59 means you’ll need to time your catches wisely. Surfers and kayakers might find conditions less than thrilling, with scores of 5.8/10 and 5.5/10, respectively. The modest wave height fluctuates between 0.4 to 0.7 meters, calming down around 13:00, making it a fair day for beginners or those looking to enjoy a more relaxed session. Divers will find a decent underwater experience with a 6.6/10 score. The water temperature is a warm 30.7°C, though the high chlorophyll levels indicate potential bloom conditions, which could affect visibility. Looking ahead, the next few days promise calmer seas, with wave heights dropping significantly. By September 6th, we’ll see near-flat conditions, ideal for kayaking or a peaceful paddle. Your best bet today? Set sail in the afternoon and let the Gulf breeze carry you into the sunset.
