Point Reyes, CA Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

If you're itching to hit the water today at Point Reyes, you're in luck—it's a great day for most activities. Surfing takes the crown with an impressive 8.8/10, thanks to manageable wave heights around 0.94 meters and a steady swell coming in from the south. The wind is behaving nicely too, with a gentle 5-knot breeze from the SSE and no significant gusts on the horizon. This makes for smooth sailing, literally, although sailing scores a bit lower at 6.4/10 due to the light winds. Boaters and kayakers can expect a pleasant outing with scores of 8.2/10 and 7.3/10, respectively. The calm conditions and lack of rain make for easy navigation, although the ocean current at 0.3 m/s towards the northeast is something to keep in mind. Diving conditions are solid at 7.8/10. With sea surface temperatures slightly above average at 14.6°C and low wave action, underwater explorers will find the visibility decent, though not crystal clear. Fishing enthusiasts will find the solunar tables on their side today, scoring a respectable 7.5/10. The major activity windows around dawn and mid-afternoon should offer the best chances, so plan your casts accordingly. Compared to recent days, today's conditions are a marked improvement, particularly for surfing and boating. The pressure is rising, currently at 1017 hPa, which often signals stable weather ahead. Looking into the crystal ball, tomorrow promises similar conditions with a slight uptick in wind. However, be prepared for a wetter, windier turn by September 3rd. For those planning ahead, September 5th looks like a prime day for water activities, with calm seas and no precipitation in sight. Today, your best bet is to grab a board and ride the waves, as the surf conditions are about as good as it gets in this neck of the woods.
