Cherry Point, WA Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

If you’re eyeing the waters around Cherry Point today, it’s a green light for most activities, with boating leading the charge at a solid 7.8/10. The gentle waves peaking at 0.22 meters and the mild SSE winds averaging 7 knots make for a pleasant day on the water. For those looking to fish, the solunar major period around midday might just be your sweet spot, pushing the fishing score to a respectable 7.3/10. While surfers might find the 4.5/10 score less thrilling, the calm conditions could be perfect for beginners or those looking to practice their paddling rather than ride the big waves. Kayakers and divers also enjoy favorable conditions today, both scoring 7.3/10, thanks to manageable winds and decent water temperatures hovering around 16.1°C. The full moon tonight could make for a stunning evening paddle or a night dive, but remember to plan around the moonrise at 19:49 for the best experience. The chlorophyll levels are high, indicating strong bloom conditions, so while the water might not be crystal clear, the local marine life could be more active, adding a touch of excitement for wildlife watchers. Compared to the past few days, today’s conditions are quite stable, with a slight dip in boating and kayaking scores from yesterday’s peak but still maintaining a favorable outlook. As we look ahead, the weather remains quite stable with only a slight chance of rain creeping in by the weekend, and wave conditions staying manageable. In summary, if you’re heading out today, boating and fishing are your best bets, with the added bonus of a full moon to guide you home.
