Matagorda City, TX Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today's the day to hit the water around Matagorda City! Boaters and divers, rejoice—conditions are prime with scores of 8.4 and 8.1 out of 10, respectively, thanks to manageable winds from the SSW at 7 knots and a stable barometric pressure of 1015 hPa. The sea state is cooperative, with wave heights hovering around 0.5 meters, and the calmest period expected around 1 PM. For paddlers, a kayaking score of 7/10 suggests a decent outing, though keep an eye on those gusts up to 13 knots. Fishing enthusiasts can look forward to a 7.6/10 day. The best windows are during the solunar major periods, from 10:10 AM to 12:10 PM and again from 10:10 PM to midnight. The waxing gibbous moon at 90% illumination should keep things interesting into the evening. Compared to the past few days, fishing conditions have improved, so it might be worth casting a line. Surfers might find today less thrilling with a score of 5.2/10. The modest wave period and direction mean it's not the best day for catching epic waves. Meanwhile, sailors will find today slightly less favorable than recent days, but still decent with a 7.7/10 score. Looking ahead, temperatures will inch upwards, with highs peaking around 35.4°C by the 27th. Winds will also pick up slightly over the coming days, reaching up to 14.7 knots. The waves will remain moderate, tapering off slightly through the week. For a memorable day, consider an afternoon dive when the waters are calmest and visibility is likely best.
