CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Bremerton, WA Daily Water Report — October 7, 2026

Bremerton gets a clear green light for boats, paddles, and shore-based water time today, with a caveat for sailors: the water is effectively flat, but there is barely enough breeze to make a proper sail of it. The marine forecast holds wave height, swell, and wind waves at 0 m through the day. NNE winds are light, generally under 6 knots, although gusts may briefly reach 11.9 knots around 10 AM. That makes boating the day’s strongest scored option at 8.4/10, while kayaking rates 7.7/10 and diving 7.7/10. Calm water is inviting, not a substitute for cold-water preparation: SST is 14 C, even though it is running 2.7 C above the seasonal average. Air temperatures rise from 11.2 C to 18.5 C under very little cloud, with no rain indicated and atmospheric visibility near 15.4 km. That visibility describes the air, not what divers will see below the surface. The practical tide window is the morning low at 9:07 AM, down to 0.26 m, followed by a substantial rise to the 3.54 m afternoon high at 3:56 PM. Shoreline explorers have their best access around that morning low, while paddlers and boaters should account for the changing water level rather than expecting a current-free day; no current-station detail is available. The 9:46–11:46 AM solunar major period overlaps the rising tide and supports the day’s 6.6/10 fishing score. A second major period runs 9:46–11:46 PM, after the 10:15 PM low, but it falls well after sunset at 6:41 PM. Compared with the recent CatchWindow record, today’s boating score improves on yesterday’s 7.7, while fishing eases back from 7.8 and wildlife drops sharply from yesterday’s 9.4 to 7.0. Sailing improves from yesterday’s weak 4.1 to 6.3, but that is more “bring patience” than “expect a lively ride.” Thursday stays exceptionally calm with peak wind only 3.8 knots and almost no rain chance. Friday brings the main weather tradeoff: up to 10.5 knots and a 55% precipitation chance, though waves remain forecast at 0 m. Best bet: launch after the morning low and enjoy the flat-water run before the afternoon high turns the shoreline into a different map.
