South Beach, OR Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today at South Beach, the water conditions are generally favorable for most activities, with some trade-offs to consider. Divers will find their best day yet, scoring an impressive 8.1/10 thanks to calm seas and stable temperatures, while anglers can expect a solid 8/10, especially during the major solunar periods from 10:07 to 12:07 and 22:07 to midnight. Boaters should note a slight dip to 7/10, with wind gusts peaking around noon, but the overall conditions remain conducive to a good day on the water. Compared to recent days, the wind is a bit more active, with gusts reaching up to 15.9 knots, which could make sailing less appealing, scoring just 5.8/10. Surfers can expect consistent waves around 0.94 meters, with the calmest window near 10 PM. The surfing score of 7/10 reflects decent but not extraordinary conditions. Visibility is a concern today, with a thick fog reducing it to just 0.1 km. This makes navigation challenging, so exercise caution if you're out on the water. Also, the air is quite humid, at 100%, which along with the cool temperatures, might make for a damp and chilly outing. However, the lack of rain is a silver lining, with no precipitation expected throughout the day. Looking ahead, the weather remains stable with slight fluctuations in temperature and wind over the coming days. Expect similar wave conditions, with minor increases in swell towards the end of the week. As always, remain vigilant of the changing conditions, especially the fog today. For those seeking a memorable experience, diving this evening promises to be a serene escape, with the ocean at its calmest and the moon nearly full, casting a magical glow over the underwater landscape.
