Steveston, BC Daily Water Report — August 27, 2026

Today in Steveston, the weather and water are rolling out a welcome mat for boaters and kayakers. With boating scoring an impressive 8.4 and kayaking at 8.5, you'll find the conditions nearly perfect for a day on the water. The calmest wave period will be around 9:00 AM, with waves barely rippling at 0.04 meters, making it an ideal time to launch your vessel. The wind is playing nice too, with a gentle southeast breeze at 4 knots, and only occasionally gusting up to 8 knots. Fishing enthusiasts might find today a bit of a mixed bag. The fishing score has ticked up slightly to 6.8 from yesterday's 5.8, thanks to favorable solunar periods in the early morning and evening. However, the very high chlorophyll levels indicate a bloom, which could impact water clarity and challenge your catch strategy. Divers will find decent conditions with a score of 7.2, consistent with recent days. The water temperature is a bit on the cool side at 15.8°C, so make sure your wetsuit is up to snuff. Meanwhile, sailors will need to be patient or seek out a different harbor, as today’s sailing score has dipped to 4.9, owing to the light winds and overcast skies. Looking ahead, the weather will remain fairly stable with minimal chances of rain until the weekend, when precipitation chances climb to 42% on Saturday. Winds will stay moderate, and wave heights are expected to remain low, making for a continued pleasant stretch for on-water activities. If you’re planning a sunset paddle, tonight’s waxing gibbous moon will provide a luminous backdrop, setting the stage for a memorable evening excursion.
