North Spit, CA Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today’s conditions at North Spit are looking favorable, especially for surfers and divers, with scores of 7.4 and 7.3 out of 10, respectively. The morning offers the calmest seas, with wave heights dipping to 1.14 meters around 7:00 AM. This is an ideal window for surfers to catch consistent swells rolling in from 324 degrees at a 5-second interval. The air is cool, hovering around 13.5°C, and the wind is light, generally from the northwest at 3 knots, which should keep the sea surface relatively smooth for divers. For boaters, the 7.3/10 score indicates a solid day on the water, but keep an eye out for afternoon gusts reaching up to 19.2 knots around 3 PM. This could make the latter part of the day a bit choppier. Kayakers might find the early hours more enjoyable before the wind picks up. Fishing enthusiasts should plan their trips around the solunar periods, with major activity expected between 1:08-3:08 AM and 1:08-3:08 PM. The full moon might add an extra challenge, but the fishing score of 7.1/10 suggests decent conditions nonetheless. Comparing to recent days, today is quite stable. The marine surface temperature is slightly warmer than average, which could affect underwater visibility, but with a diving score of 7.3/10, conditions are still promising. Wildlife watchers will find a solid 7/10 score, though not as high as the 8.4/10 seen on the 27th. Looking ahead, weather conditions remain mostly stable with minimal rain chances until September 1st, when precipitation is expected to increase. The best bet for this report? Catch the morning waves before the afternoon winds make things a bit rougher.
