Port Aransas, TX Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today, Port Aransas offers a solid lineup for sailors and divers, with sailing scoring a strong 8/10 and diving close behind at 7.8/10. The wind is a friendly 8 knots from the south, gusting up to 16, creating favorable conditions for a smooth sail. Divers will appreciate the stable barometric pressure at 1014 hPa and the manageable wave height, peaking at 0.64 meters, with the calmest seas around 3 PM at just 0.44 meters. The sea surface temperature is a comfortable 29.8°C, slightly cooler than average, making for a refreshing dive. Fishing enthusiasts will find the day slightly better than yesterday, with a score of 7.6/10. The solunar major period from 10:15 to 12:15 coincides conveniently with the high tide at 10:11, offering a prime window to cast a line. While the tide swings aren't dramatic, they align nicely with those solunar periods, potentially boosting your catch. Surfers and kayakers will face a bit of a mixed bag. The surf scores a moderate 5.8/10, with waves reaching up to 0.7 meters—enough for a decent ride but not exactly epic. Kayakers share the same score, and while the ocean current at 0.7 m/s isn't too fierce, it's worth noting the gusts that might challenge your paddling skills. Looking ahead, expect consistent conditions with slight variations in wind and wave height through the weekend. Temperatures will hover in the high 20s to low 30s, with minimal rain chances. For those planning an outing, Saturday's slightly calmer seas might be your best bet, especially for kayaking or a leisurely boat trip.
