San Luis Pass tide station · The pass drains all of West Bay through one narrow throat, so even a modest tide moves real water over the bars and drop-offs.
The 48-hour setup
Buoy 42035 shows wind at **SE (140°) averaging 3.4 kt over 48 hours**, peak gust 21.4 kt. Pressure 1012.1 hPa and rising. Onshore flow - the direction that builds green water in the pass.
Buoy 42035: 48-hour vector-mean wind SE (140 deg) at 3.4 kt; 24-hour mean SE at 1.9 kt. Peak gust in the last 48 hours: 21.4 kt.
LUIT2 latest: S at 5.1 kt, gusting 7 kt. Pressure 1012.1 hPa. Water temp 88.3 F.
The bottom line
Best day of the window is Tuesday, September 8 - PERFECT DAY, scoring 90/100. Target the 10:17 AM - 12:17 PM window.
Nothing separates them today (lure 88, bait 90) - fish whichever you enjoy more.

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.

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.

Pick your spots and your days — Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or all three. One mail, no app.
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.
