Live Port Aransas Beach Conditions

Current air temperature, Gulf water temperature, wind, surf, today's high and low tides, and the latest National Weather Service forecast for Port Aransas, Mustang Island, and Cinnamon Shore — refreshed every 6 hours from NOAA.

Moderate beach conditions Some chop and a livelier shore break. Good for body-boarding and a brisk swim; less ideal for very young swimmers.

Updated Sun, Jun 28, 3:56 AM CDT · refreshed every 6 hours from NOAA NWS, NDBC buoy 42020, and NOAA Tides & Currents.

Heads up: the “Moderate” summary above is an informational read on the live wind and wave data — it is not the official Port Aransas Beach Patrol flag. Always check the lifeguard flag posted on the beach and follow posted safety guidance before entering the water.

Wondering whether the Gulf will be clear or brown today? See our Port Aransas water color forecast — modeled hourly from buoy, rainfall, and river data, with live UTMSI webcams and the official Texas Beach Watch bacteria links.
