Port of West Sacramento, Washington Lake, CA Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

Today at the Port of West Sacramento, boating and kayaking enthusiasts are in for a treat with scores of 8.5 and 8.2 out of 10, respectively. The lake is as calm as it gets, with no waves or swell to speak of, making for smooth paddling and a leisurely boating experience. The wind is a gentle 6 knots from the SSW, though gusts could reach up to 19.2 knots around 11:00 AM, so plan your outings accordingly to avoid the breeziest period. Fishing is looking up with a 7.1/10 score, a slight improvement over the past few days, thanks to favorable solunar periods and stable barometric pressure. The best time to cast your line might be during the major solunar period from 12:14 to 14:14. Diving conditions remain steady at 7.6/10, with calm waters and good visibility, though the absence of a sea surface temperature reading means divers should be prepared for a range of conditions. Unfortunately, surfing remains at a low 4.5/10, consistent with recent history, due to the complete lack of waves. Sailors will find today moderately appealing with a 6.4/10 score, but they should be wary of the occasional stronger gusts. Looking ahead, the calm conditions are set to continue, with no waves or swell forecasted for the next few days. Temperatures will rise slightly, peaking at 31.3°C tomorrow, but the chance of rain remains negligible. For those looking to make the most of their day, the best bet is to hit the water early for some kayaking or boating before the wind picks up. With the full moon tonight, a sunset paddle could be a serene way to end your day on the water.
