Port of West Sacramento, Washington Lake, CA Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today's conditions at the Port of West Sacramento spell a good day for boating and kayaking enthusiasts with scores of 8.3 out of 10. The wind is light, ranging from 3.7 to 7.6 knots, and the water is as calm as it gets with wave heights holding steady at 0 meters. This means smooth sailing—literally—for those looking to glide across the water. The air temperature will climb from a cool 16.5°C to a scorching 35.9°C, so be prepared for a warm afternoon. For anglers, the fishing score is a moderate 6.9, suggesting some potential but not peak conditions. The best windows for a catch are likely during the solunar periods, particularly around the late morning low tide at 11:15. The waxing gibbous moon, 90% illuminated, might add a bit of mystery to your night fishing plans, but don't expect miracles. Diving conditions are holding steady at 7.6 out of 10, consistent with the past few days. The calm conditions and lack of precipitation make it a decent day for underwater exploration, though water clarity data is unavailable. Wildlife watchers will find today slightly more promising than recent days, with a score of 8.5. The solunar times suggest late evening might be your best bet for spotting some action. Sailing, however, takes a backseat today with a score of 5.8 due to the light winds and complete cloud cover. Surfers should probably sit this one out, as the surfing score is a low 4.5, thanks to the non-existent swell. Looking ahead, the weather will remain warm with a slight increase in wind over the coming days, peaking at 13 knots by the end of the month. With no rain in sight, the conditions should stay favorable for most water activities. For a memorable outing today, take advantage of the calm waters for a leisurely kayak trip around the lake.
