Cherry Point, WA Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today at Cherry Point, it's a mixed bag with some great opportunities for sailors and wildlife enthusiasts. Sailing scores a strong 8.2/10, thanks to brisk winds from the south at 11 knots, gusting up to 18. These conditions should keep your sails full and your spirits high. Wildlife watchers can also rejoice with a score of 8.5/10, likely due to the solunar periods aligning nicely and a calm sea surface for better visibility. Fishing enthusiasts will find fair conditions with a score of 7.2/10. The solunar major periods in the early morning and late afternoon should be your best bet for casting a line, though the absence of tide data might make planning a bit trickier. The water temperature is a comfortable 15.5°C, slightly above average, and no rain is expected, which should make for a pleasant day on the water. For the surfers, today might not be your day, with a low score of 4.4/10. The waves are modest, peaking at just 0.3 meters, and the short period of 2.35 seconds isn't helping. If you're looking for the calmest conditions for a paddle, aim for around 08:00 when the waves dip to 0.08 meters. Looking ahead, tomorrow's wind is expected to pick up significantly, with gusts reaching nearly 25 knots, so plan accordingly if you're heading out. The rest of the week looks to calm down with lower winds and minimal chances of rain, especially by the weekend. For a memorable outing today, set sail and enjoy the interplay of wind and water, as the conditions are just right to make the most of your time on the open sea.
