CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Port O'Connor, TX Daily Water Report — August 26, 2026

Today at Port O'Connor, boating takes the top prize, with a solid suitability score of 8.7 out of 10. The gentle SW winds, averaging 4 knots and peaking at 17.3 knots tonight, combined with 0.5-meter wave heights, set up a smooth day on the water. The calmest waves will grace us around 4 PM, making it an excellent time to cast off. For anglers, the fishing score is a respectable 7.1. The solunar major period from 11 AM to 1 PM, coupled with the stable barometric pressure of 1016 hPa, suggests a decent window for reeling in some catches. However, the fishing score has dipped slightly from yesterday's 7.6, so manage your expectations accordingly. Diving conditions are also favorable, scoring 7.8. The stable sea surface temperature of 30.7°C, paired with minimal cloud cover at just 1%, should offer great underwater visibility. Meanwhile, kayaking is looking up with a 7.5 score, thanks to the manageable wave and wind conditions. Surfers might find the day a bit underwhelming, with a score of 5.2. The 0.38-meter swell from 165 degrees is rather tame, and the short period of 2.9 seconds won't be delivering significant rides. If you're determined to hit the waves, patience will be your best friend. Looking ahead, the weather remains relatively stable, with temperatures hovering around 27-33°C and a slight increase in wind speeds forecasted for the next few days. Precipitation chances remain low, so your outdoor plans should stay mostly dry. In summary, boating is your best bet today, with ideal conditions for a smooth and enjoyable day out on the water.
