Cherry Point, WA Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today at Cherry Point, the water is inviting for a range of activities, with boating and kayaking leading the charge. Boaters will find near-perfect conditions with a score of 9.1 out of 10, thanks to gentle winds peaking at 10.5 knots and wave heights that barely ripple the surface, calming to just 0.08 meters by late evening. Kayakers also have a great window, scoring 8.3, as the low swell and manageable winds make for a serene paddle. Fishing enthusiasts should seize the solunar major periods around 01:47-03:47 and 13:47-15:47 for the best action, reflecting a solid 7.6 out of 10 score. The barometric pressure is stable at 1018 hPa, which, combined with the absence of rain and a pleasant air temperature range of 12.8 to 19.5°C, sets a comfortable scene for anglers. For surfers, today is less than stellar with a score of 4.5. The minimal wave height of 0.12 meters at a short period doesn't offer much for catching a ride. Divers, however, can expect decent underwater conditions with a score of 7.2, though the high chlorophyll concentration suggests limited visibility. The weather remains clear with excellent visibility at 23.4 km and no rain in sight, making it a picturesque day for wildlife watchers, who also enjoy a 7.6 score. The water temperature is slightly warmer than average at 15.7°C, adding to the comfort for those venturing into the water. Looking ahead, the next few days see a slight increase in wind and wave activity, particularly on September 2nd with a forecasted peak wind of 16.6 knots and waves up to 0.9 meters. But for today, take advantage of the calm waters and clear skies—it's a boater's paradise out there.
