CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Longview, WA Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

Longview's waters are a veritable playground today, with conditions favoring most activities. Boaters and kayakers will find near-perfect conditions, scoring 8.1/10 and 7.8/10 respectively. With wind barely tipping the scale at 7 knots from the northwest and waves as flat as a pancake, it's an ideal day for smooth sailing or paddling without a care in the world. Fishing scores a respectable 6.2/10, largely due to the favorable solunar periods in the morning and evening. While the lack of tide data may leave some anglers guessing, the steady barometric pressure and clear skies should keep spirits high. Keep an eye on the solunar major period from 7:30 to 9:30 AM for the best bites. Surfers, however, might want to hold out for another day, as the ocean's offering a rare 0-meter wave height—perfect for a contemplative float but not much else. With a surfing score of 4.5/10, today isn't the day to hang ten. Wildlife enthusiasts will find a fair 6.2/10 score, with the calm conditions and solunar timing making it a decent day for spotting coastal critters. Just remember, the lack of tide data means you'll need to be extra observant of the environment. Looking ahead, the next few days promise a mix of temperatures and mild winds, with a slight chance of precipitation on the 23rd and 26th. The wind remains gentle, so the water should stay calm and inviting. For the best bet, grab your kayak or boat and enjoy Longview's serene waters; it's not every day the sea offers such a tranquil canvas.
