CatchWindow fishing intelligence

La Push, Quillayute River, WA Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today at La Push, the water's calling for a mix of adventures, with surfing taking the crown at a stellar 8.8 out of 10. The waves are currently rolling in at a manageable 0.92 meters, with a nice long period of 10.1 seconds—perfect for catching some smooth rides. Light winds from the north at 3 knots won't mess with your style, keeping those sets clean and inviting. For anglers, it's a solid day with a fishing score of 7.1. Though tide data is missing, the solunar periods suggest the best bites might come during the major window from 1:55 to 3:55 PM. The barometric pressure is slipping slightly, which could stir up some activity. However, without the tides to guide, you'll need to lean on those solunar cues and perhaps a little local intuition. Boaters and kayakers can enjoy a relatively calm day with scores of 8 and 7.7, respectively. The ocean's behaving itself with a gentle swell coming from the west-southwest. Just be mindful of the ocean current nudging northwest at 0.4 m/s—nothing too daunting, but worth noting if you're paddling against it. Diving scores a respectable 7.9, thanks to the favorable wind and wave conditions. The sea surface temperature is a cozy 16.5°C, a touch warmer than usual, which should make for a pleasant dive. Just remember, visibility tops out at 13.8 km above water, so plan your dive spots accordingly. Looking ahead, the weather's about to shake things up. By September 2nd, expect winds to ramp up to a brisk 18.5 knots with a high chance of rain. Waves will swell to 2.3 meters, so take advantage of today's milder conditions while they last. For the best experience, hit the surf now and ride the waves before the stormy weather rolls in!
