La Push, Quillayute River, WA Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

Today in La Push, the water is calling, and diving is your best bet with a standout score of 7.9/10. The conditions are ripe for a plunge, thanks to minimal wind waves and a comfortable sea surface temperature of 15.6°C. The ocean is calmest around 11 PM, but the whole day promises a smooth experience with waves holding steady between 0.8 to 1.2 meters. Surfers will also find decent conditions with a score of 7.6/10. The steady 0.86-meter waves at 9.65-second intervals from the WSW will keep things interesting, but keep an eye out for the wind picking up slightly in the evening. Boaters and kayakers, with scores of 7.2 and 6.7 respectively, can enjoy a pleasant outing, although the ocean current at 1.2 m/s towards 309 degrees might add some unexpected excitement to your paddle. Fishing enthusiasts get a moderate nod with a 6.8/10 rating. While the solunar major period during midday offers a promising window, the lack of tide data could make pinpointing the best spots a bit of a guessing game. Wildlife watchers might find the moonlit evening a magical time, but overall, the wildlife score of 6.7/10 suggests a more subdued day. Looking back, today’s conditions are a slight improvement over yesterday, especially for diving and boating, which saw lower scores. The barometric pressure is falling, indicating a potential shift in weather, but for now, no rain is in sight. Looking ahead, the upcoming days bring a mixed bag. Expect a bit more wind and rain by September 2nd, with waves potentially swelling to 3 meters. If you’re planning to catch the best of the week, dive in today while the water’s just right.
