Garibaldi, OR Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today, Garibaldi's waters are offering a mixed bag of opportunities. If you're a surfer or diver, you're in luck—both activities score a solid 7.6 and 7.7 out of 10, respectively. Surfing conditions are buoyed by moderate wave heights of 1.18 meters at a comfortable 7.9-second period, with swells coming from the northwest. Divers will appreciate the relatively calm wind conditions, with gentle breezes from the north at 5 knots and gusts up to 12. While visibility isn't top-tier, the stable marine conditions and water temperature at 15.4°C make it a worthwhile day beneath the surface. Fishing enthusiasts have a decent window with a score of 7.1 out of 10. The solunar periods suggest the best times to cast your line will be during the early afternoon major period from 13:07 to 15:07. The full moon tonight might just give you that extra edge, though the lack of tide data means some guesswork is involved. Boaters and kayakers might find today's conditions a tad challenging, with scores of 5.5 and 5.1, respectively. The ocean current is moving at 1.7 m/s towards the south-southwest, which could make for a strenuous paddle. The wind isn't too fierce, but the occasional gust could catch you off guard, so stay vigilant. Comparatively, diving and surfing conditions have slightly dipped since yesterday, when diving scored an 8.1 and surfing a 6.8. However, today's surfing conditions have improved, making it a prime day to catch a wave. Looking ahead, the weather remains relatively stable with mild temperatures and low chances of rain until September 1st. After that, expect a potential wet spell with increasing winds and choppier seas by September 2nd. For those eager to make the most of today, grabbing your board or diving gear seems like the best bet—just keep an eye on those gusts!
