Port Arthur, TX Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Today in Port Arthur, the water activities are looking promising, especially for those with a sail or a paddle. Sailing takes the top spot with a solid 7.7/10, thanks to consistent southern winds peaking at 10.7 knots. Boating and kayaking also score well, at 7.6 and 6.8 respectively, with calm wave conditions peaking at just 0.3 meters and dropping to their calmest at 0.16 meters around 6 PM. Fishing enthusiasts might find today a bit of a challenge at 5.4/10, with the solunar periods offering the best chances early in the morning and late afternoon. The waning gibbous moon won’t do much to help your luck, but the mild pressure rise and low tides around 3:46 PM might just tip the scales in your favor. Surfers, it’s another day of modest expectations with a 4.5/10. The swell is minimal at 0.24 meters, and the short period won’t provide much push. Divers can enjoy a decent day underwater, scoring 6.9/10, with warm sea surface temperatures at 30.8°C and manageable wind waves. Watch out for high chlorophyll levels indicating bloom conditions, which could impact water clarity and visibility for both diving and wildlife observation, which stands at 6/10 today. The air temperature feels like a toasty 31.2°C with high humidity, so stay hydrated and sun-safe. Looking ahead, conditions remain stable with slight cooling and low winds, making for excellent boating and paddling days through the weekend. The calm seas tomorrow will be a treat, as wave heights drop further, offering tranquil waters for all. Best bet of the day? Set sail and enjoy the breezy conditions while they’re here!
