CatchWindow fishing intelligence

La Push, Quillayute River, WA Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today at La Push is a mixed bag, but there's something for everyone if you time it right. Boaters and divers will find the conditions quite favorable, with scores hovering around 8/10. The calmest water is early in the day, with waves at a manageable 0.88 meters. The wind is generally mild, clocking in at around 5 knots from the east, though it will pick up notably around 1 PM with gusts reaching nearly 25 knots. Plan your outings accordingly to avoid the bluster. Fishing enthusiasts should aim for the solunar major periods, particularly late morning between 10:10 and 12:10, when the tides and pressure align nicely. While the fishing score is a respectable 7.6/10, it's a slight dip from yesterday's conditions, so patience might be required. Surfers will find the waves just shy of a meter, with a 7-second period and a swell coming from the west. It's not the epic surf of the century, but a 7.5/10 score suggests you'll still catch some fun rides. The wind direction is favorable, but be wary of the afternoon gusts that could make things tricky. Wildlife watchers have a decent shot today, scoring 7.1/10. The waxing gibbous moon and solunar periods suggest some potential activity, especially around the minor periods just before dawn and late afternoon. Looking ahead, the next few days bring slightly higher wave action, with a bit more swell on the 27th. Temperatures will stay mild, and while there's a small chance of rain toward the end of the week, it shouldn't be enough to dampen your plans. If you're looking for the best bet today, boating in the morning before the winds pick up will be your sweetest window.
