  • 8:46 PM - 10:46 PM 40 Major - moon underfoot, on max tidal flow
Why this rating

Composite 89/100. Clarity 64, tide 100 (Daily range 1.78 ft), wind 100 (Prime topwater / light jighead), solunar 89 (Daylight feeding window lands on max tidal flow).

Speckled trout tactic

Wind NW at 4 kt. Prime topwater / light jighead. Water predicted sandy green - run natural and translucent colours (pearl, Texas Roach, bone) on light jigheads.

Live bait tactic

If you would rather soak bait: cork or free-line, no problem. Free-line a live croaker or shrimp on the moving water along the bar edges; a cork over the shallower shell if the drift gets away from you. At 88.3F, croaker will out-fish everything once the sun is up.

Water clarity read

Driven by a 48-hour mean wind of SE at 3.4 kt, with a NW morning breeze forecast.

Reds & flounder

Flounder stage on the down-current side of the pass drop-offs and bar cuts through the falling tide; redfish work the guts and the flats on the last of the incoming.

  • 7:17 PM - 8:17 PM 97 Minor - moonset, on max tidal flow
Why this rating

Composite 77/100. Clarity 82, tide 68 (Daily range 0.71 ft), wind 82 (Good soft-plastic drifting), solunar 80 (Daylight feeding window lands on max tidal flow).

Speckled trout tactic

Wind SW at 9 kt. Good soft-plastic drifting. Water predicted clear green - run natural and translucent colours (pearl, Texas Roach, bone) on light jigheads.

Live bait tactic

If you would rather soak bait: cork or free-line, no problem. Free-line a live croaker or shrimp on the moving water along the bar edges; a cork over the shallower shell if the drift gets away from you. At 88.3F, croaker will out-fish everything once the sun is up.

Water clarity read

Driven by a 48-hour mean wind of SE at 3.4 kt, with a SW morning breeze forecast.

Reds & flounder

Flounder stage on the down-current side of the pass drop-offs and bar cuts through the falling tide; redfish work the guts and the flats on the last of the incoming.

What this forecast cannot tell you (3)
  • The NWS hourly forecast reaches about 6.5 days, which stops short of the end of this window. Wind, temperature and sky for Saturday come from Open-Meteo alone, with no second model to check them against. Treat the last of the week as a trend, not a plan.
  • Wind is cross-checked against two independent models: the NWS gridpoint forecast for this spot, and Open-Meteo running gfs_seamless at 29.096539, -95.158936. Across the overlapping mornings the two agree to within 1.6 kt on average (worst 2.9 kt). Where they diverge, treat that day's wind as less certain.
  • Water clarity is inferred from measured 48-hour buoy wind history and forecast wind vectors. It is not visually confirmed - local webcams are video streams and cannot be read automatically. Check a cam before you load the truck.
