Rockport, TX Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today in Rockport, boating takes the top spot with a stellar 9 out of 10, making it the perfect day to set sail. Kayakers and divers won't be disappointed either, with scores of 8.1 and 7.9, respectively. The calmest waters are expected around 3 PM, with wave heights dropping to a mere 0.2 meters, so that's your golden window for a smooth paddle or dive. The wind is a friendly companion today, blowing from the south at a moderate 6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 9. It's nothing too fierce, but enough to keep sailors on their toes and give them a solid 7.1 rating. The air feels quite warm at 27.7°C, but with the humidity, it feels more like a toasty 32.8°C. So, keep that sunscreen handy and stay hydrated. Surfers might find today less thrilling with a 4.5 rating. The modest 0.32-meter waves and short 3.5-second periods won't offer much excitement, but it's a decent day for beginners to practice. Meanwhile, anglers are looking at a middling 5.6 score. The solunar tables suggest the best fishing times are early morning and mid-afternoon, aligning with the low tide at 4:47 PM, so plan accordingly. The water temperature is sitting slightly cooler than usual, with a sea surface temperature anomaly of -1.3°C, though it shouldn't deter most water activities. Visibility is excellent at 15.6 km, so no surprises from the weather front today. Looking ahead, the next few days promise slightly windier conditions, with the potential for a bit more chop in the water. For now, enjoy the serene conditions and consider a sunset sail for the best experience today—there's nothing quite like the golden glow on the water as the sun dips below the horizon at 7:52 PM.
