Astoria, OR Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today in Astoria, the water is inviting for boaters and divers, scoring an impressive 8.2 out of 10 for both activities. The calm conditions and mild temperatures, peaking at nearly 20°C, make for a pleasant day on the water. Wind speeds are gentle, hovering around 4 knots from the NNW with the occasional gust reaching 13 knots by evening, ensuring smooth sailing for most of the day. For anglers, the fishing score holds steady at 7.1, thanks to favorable solunar periods around midday and early afternoon. The absence of rain and clear skies also contribute to a good day of casting lines. However, the lack of tide data means you might need to rely on experience to gauge the best fishing spots. Surfers might find today less thrilling, with waves averaging around 0.66 meters and the swell coming from the northwest. With a surfing score of 6, it's not the most exhilarating day, but those looking for a mellow ride will appreciate the conditions. Kayakers can expect a similarly moderate day with a score of 6.8, as the gentle waves and calm winds provide a stable environment for paddling. Looking ahead, a change is on the horizon with increasing wave heights expected by September 2, reaching up to 1.7 meters. A significant chance of rain looms that day, so enjoy the dry spell while it lasts. If you're planning for the best bet of the day, hit the water for boating or diving during the calm evening hours when the waves are at their lowest.
