Rockport, TX Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today in Rockport, TX, the water is calling with near-perfect conditions for boating and kayaking. With a boating score of 9.4/10 and kayaking not far behind at 9.1/10, the gentle southern breezes and calm seas make for an ideal day to hit the water. Winds are light, ranging from 1.5 to 9.7 knots, peaking later in the evening, so the morning and early afternoon offer the smoothest ride. For those looking to cast a line, the fishing score has ticked up to 7.2/10, a nice improvement from the previous days. The solunar major period from 1:15 to 3:15 PM aligns well with the afternoon high tide, potentially making for a fruitful session. However, the full moon could make fish a bit more elusive, so patience may be key. Surfers might want to sit this one out, as the waves are barely there, with a height of just 0.22 meters and a short period of 3.35 seconds. Similarly, sailing scores have dipped to 5.6/10 due to the inconsistent wind speeds, though the calm seas might still offer a pleasant, albeit leisurely, sail. Diving conditions are consistently good, holding steady at 7.9/10 with clear skies and a stable barometer at 1016 hPa. The sea surface temperature is a warm 30.3°C, slightly cooler than usual, which might be refreshing during your underwater explorations. Looking ahead, expect slightly stronger winds over the weekend, with a slim chance of rain. Waves will remain modest, increasing slightly as the week progresses. For those planning activities, tomorrow still looks favorable for water-based adventures, though the wind will start to pick up. Best bet of the day? Grab your kayak and paddle out under the sun for a serene morning on the water, before the winds pick up in the evening.
