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

Port Lavaca is a boater's paradise today with a stellar 9.2 out of 10 suitability score. The calm seas, peaking at a mere 0.3 meters, and gentle SSW winds averaging 4 knots create an ideal scenario for smooth sailing. Kayakers will also find joy in these conditions, scoring a commendable 8.6. The wind might pick up slightly to 13.9 knots by late evening, but it’s nothing the experienced sailor can’t handle. Fishing enthusiasts have a solid window around the high tide at 11:57 AM, coinciding nicely with a major solunar period from 10:13 to 12:13 PM. With a score of 7.6, it’s better than the previous few days, reflecting improved conditions. The waxing gibbous moon, at 90% illumination, should add a bit of magic to the early evening hours, although the later major solunar period from 10:13 PM to midnight might be too late for many. Surfers, however, might want to sit this one out. With waves barely reaching 0.24 meters and a score of 4.5, it's not a day for catching anything more than a ripple. Divers will find conditions consistent with recent days, holding steady at 7.7, thanks to manageable waves and stable atmospheric conditions. Looking ahead, temperatures are set to rise, with a peak of 37.3°C expected by the 27th, and winds will flirt with higher speeds, reaching up to 15.1 knots by the 29th. If you're planning outdoor activities, the calmest water conditions persist through the 26th, making it the best bet for any waterborne adventures.
