CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Morgans Point, Barbours Cut, TX Daily Water Report — October 7, 2026

Morgans Point gets a clear green light for boating today, with a very workable day for sailing, kayaking and fishing if you respect the morning gusts. The water is about as close to flat as the marine forecast gets: 0.1 m waves all day, with a small 0.1 m swell at three seconds. Boating leads the activity scores at 8/10, while sailing checks in at 7.2 and kayaking at 6.9. Calm water is not a substitute for a lookout, but it does remove one major annoyance from the day’s planning. The main tradeoff is wind timing. The representative NNE breeze is 6 knots, but gusts are forecast to top out near 16.7 knots around 8 AM. That makes the early launch period a little more fussy than the wave height suggests, particularly for paddlers and sailors setting up in exposed water. Winds otherwise range from roughly 4 to 9 knots, with no rain indicated, clear skies, and 25 km atmospheric visibility. That visibility is useful for navigation, not a measure of what can be seen below the surface. For anglers, the 6.5/10 fishing score improves on yesterday’s 5.7, with rising pressure near 1012 hPa and the day’s strongest solunar major window running 9:54-11:54 AM. The tide rises from a 0.10 m low shortly after midnight to a 0.48 m high at 8:28 AM, then eases down to 0.39 m at 1:42 PM. The tidal range is modest, so expect timing to matter more than dramatic water movement. A second major solunar period arrives late, 9:54-11:54 PM, after sunset. Kayakers will likely find the most forgiving outing after the morning gust peak and before afternoon heat builds toward 30.6 C. Sailors have enough breeze to work with, though this is more trim-and-patience than full-power sailing. Diving is not scored today because usable water-temperature and clarity inputs are unavailable; flat seas alone do not settle underwater conditions. Compared with the recent CatchWindow record, boating is slightly better than yesterday and markedly easier than the windier late-September stretch, while sailing remains solid but below the stronger-wind days. The next several days stay warm and generally light-wind, with waves mostly 0.1-0.3 m through Saturday before a modest uptick late in the outlook; rain chances also rise to 21% Friday and Saturday. Best bet: launch after the 8 AM gust peak, fish the late-morning solunar window, and enjoy water that is behaving itself for once.
