CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Cherry Point, WA Daily Water Report — August 24, 2026

Today at Cherry Point, the water beckons boaters, divers, and kayakers with some of the best conditions we've seen this week. Boating scores a strong 8.7/10, with diving and kayaking not far behind. The calm seas with wave heights peaking at a mere 0.3 meters and a gentle north-northwest wind make for smooth sailing and paddling. The sea surface temperature is slightly warmer than average at 15.2°C, adding a touch of comfort for those taking the plunge. The tides offer a dynamic backdrop, with a high of 2.63 meters in the late afternoon, perfect for a sunset cruise. However, fishing enthusiasts might find the going a bit tougher today with a score of 5.9/10. The solunar periods suggest better luck in the late evening or mid-morning. While the waxing gibbous moon is a sight to behold, it might not be enough to lure the big catches out of hiding. For surfers, patience is the name of the game. The surfing score remains low at 4.5/10, thanks to the minimal swell and short wave period. If you're keen to catch a wave, you might want to consider other coastal spots or wait for a more promising forecast. Looking ahead, temperatures will climb slightly tomorrow, but the weather remains dry with a slight uptick in wind, which could keep boating conditions favorable. By the weekend, expect cooler temperatures and a chance of rain, so plan accordingly. For the best bet today, take advantage of the calm morning waters for a kayak trip or a leisurely boat ride. Enjoy the serene conditions and the gentle rhythm of the sea.
