Cape Disappointment, WA Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today at Cape Disappointment, we're looking at a solid day for water activities, with diving leading the pack at 7.8/10. If you're planning to hit the water, the morning offers the calmest conditions with wave heights dipping to 0.76 meters around 2:00 AM, so early risers will catch the best of it. For surfers, the 1.14-meter waves and a 7.45-second period should keep things interesting, scoring a respectable 7.4/10. The northwesterly wind is a gentle 6 knots, with gusts peaking at 16.7 knots earlier this morning, keeping things steady for sailing and boating, both scoring just over 7/10. The water temperature is a comfortable 15.7°C, slightly warmer than average, making it a fine day for divers. Visibility is excellent at 15.5 km, though remember that's above water, not below. With no rain in sight and a full moon rising at 8:07 PM, tonight’s solunar periods might boost your fishing luck, which is already at a decent 7.1/10. Comparing to recent days, diving has slightly dipped from yesterday's 8.2/10, but it remains a strong choice. Kayakers might find the 5.8/10 score a bit underwhelming, with the ocean current running at 0.6 m/s towards 124 degrees. Wildlife enthusiasts can expect a typical day with a score of 7/10, but the strong solunar periods could offer some surprises. Looking ahead, conditions will remain fairly stable over the next couple of days, with wave heights staying around the 1-meter mark. However, keep an eye on September 2nd, when the wind is predicted to ramp up to nearly 24 knots, paired with waves reaching up to 2.5 meters. For now, your best bet is to enjoy a dive before the afternoon winds pick up.
