South Beach, OR Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today at South Beach, the waters are calling, and they're in a pretty good mood. For surfers, it's a solid day with an 8/10 rating, thanks to waves around 1.26 meters and a swell coming in from the northwest. The wind from the south-southwest at 8 knots might ruffle your hair but won't ruin your ride. If you're fishing, a score of 7.9/10 suggests a fruitful outing, especially during the solunar peak periods from 3:28 to 5:28 AM and again from 3:28 to 5:28 PM. Boaters and kayakers might find the conditions less ideal, with scores of 6.5/10 and 5.8/10, respectively. The wind gusts up to 25.3 knots by late evening could make for a choppy ride, so plan to be back onshore before the gusts pick up. Divers have a decent 7.6/10 to work with, though the 14.7°C sea surface temperature might require an extra layer of neoprene for comfort. Comparing to recent days, today's conditions are a bit more blustery than earlier in the week, which saw lighter winds and generally higher boating scores. However, the absence of rain and stable barometric pressure at 1012 hPa should keep things pleasant enough for most activities. Looking ahead, the weather takes a turn for the wetter with a significant chance of rain tomorrow and Friday, accompanied by increasing wave heights. If you're planning ahead, Sunday looks promising with lighter winds and lower precipitation chances. For today, surfers should catch the mid-afternoon lull when the waves calm slightly to 1.18 meters. It's a fine day to ride the waves and reel in a catch before the weather shifts later in the week.
