CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Crescent City, CA Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today in Crescent City, surfers are in for a treat with an impressive 8.5/10 suitability score. The waves are peaking at 1.76 meters with a steady swell from the southwest, making for some thrilling rides. The wind from the NNE at 7 knots, gusting up to 16, offers just enough push to keep things exciting without blowing you off course. The calmest waters are expected around 08:00, but the surfing action should stay solid throughout the day. For anglers, a 7.1/10 score suggests decent fishing conditions, especially during the solunar major periods from 13:08 to 15:08. The full moon tonight might add a little extra magic to your evening catch. However, the lack of tide data means you'll need to rely on your instincts and experience to find the best spots. Sailors will find today a bit of a mixed bag with a 7.6/10 score. The wind is variable, peaking at 30.1 knots by late afternoon, so earlier in the day might be your best bet to avoid the gustiest conditions. Boaters and kayakers should proceed with caution due to the higher waves and strong currents, which have pushed their suitability scores down to 5.6/10 and 3.6/10, respectively. Divers can enjoy a solid 7.1/10 day, although the cooler sea surface temperature of 13.3°C might require a thicker wetsuit. Wildlife enthusiasts should keep an eye out during the solunar periods, with a 7/10 score indicating decent conditions for spotting local fauna. Looking ahead, the next few days promise similar conditions with a slight chance of rain creeping in by September 1st. If you're planning a water adventure this week, today is your best bet for catching some stellar waves and enjoying the full moon's glow.
