Rollover Pass, TX Daily Water Report — August 23, 2026

Boating, kayaking, and diving are the day’s winners at Rollover Pass. Forecast scores put boating at 8.9, with kayaking and diving both at 8. Sailing sits at a workable 6.4, fishing at 6.1, wildlife at 6, and surfing at 4.6 on small, short-period water. Those numbers rank the day; they are not a safety stamp. A light west breeze—representative 5 knots, gusting to 7, inside a 4.2–12.7 knot range—and waves that ease toward 0.26 m near 13:00 open the cleanest stretch for boats and kayaks. Marine forecast seas run only 0.3–0.6 m, with a 0.3 m swell at 2.95 seconds from 198 degrees and barely-there wind waves. A 0.3 m/s current sets toward 45 degrees. The 09:36 high of 0.47 m overlaps the 08:24–10:24 solunar major, which is the most coherent fishing window even with a middling fishing score built from solunar timing, tide, stable pressure near 1017 hPa, wind, and available clarity. Skies are mostly clear, no rain is indicated, and marine SST is 31.5 C, even with the average. Heat is the tax. Air runs 26.8–33.5 C and the representative feel is 35.3 C under 75 percent humidity. After the 19:53 sunset, wind builds toward a 19.4-knot gust at 22:00, undercutting the 20:24–22:24 solunar major. The only low tide is −0.02 m at 23:31, so wildlife gets no daytime low-water window. Atmospheric visibility of 19.4 km is air, not a look underwater. Surfers have little period to work with. Yesterday’s reconstructed scores, under 14.2-knot wind, favored sailing (9.2), fishing (7.8), and wildlife (7.9). Today’s lighter breeze lifts boating from 7.3 and kayaking from 6 while sailing slips; diving holds at 8. Through the 29th, forecasts keep highs near 32 C, peak winds about 11–13 knots, and rain chances mostly single digits. Waves hold 0.4–0.6 m, then ease toward 0.2–0.3 m by the 28th. Best bet: take the boat or kayak through that midday west-wind lull and let the evening gusts keep the moon company.
