Longview, WA Daily Water Report — August 24, 2026

Today is a stellar day for boating and kayaking in Longview, WA, with near-perfect conditions on the water. With a boating score of 8.8 and kayaking at 7.8, enthusiasts should seize the day. The calm wave conditions (0m across the board) and gentle winds peaking at just over 10 knots make for smooth sailing and paddling. The wind from the northeast is consistent, but not overpowering, providing a steady breeze without the risk of capsizing or being blown off course. The fishing forecast is a bit more tempered today at 5.7, a slight dip from yesterday's 6.2. The solunar tables suggest the best bite times fall in the morning between 09:14 and 11:14, and again in the evening from 21:14 to 23:14. The low tide at 09:38 might provide some interesting opportunities for shore fishing, but anglers might need to be patient and strategic. Sailing scores have improved to 7.6 from yesterday's 5.8, thanks to the consistent wind and clear skies. However, surfers might find the conditions less than ideal with a score of 4.5, largely due to the non-existent wave action. Wildlife watchers have a decent day ahead with a score of 6.7, particularly around low tide events which are perfect for spotting coastal critters. Looking ahead, the weather remains favorable with a slight increase in wind expected tomorrow. Temperatures will remain warm over the next few days, but keep an eye on the barometer as it’s currently falling, which might indicate a change in conditions later in the week. For now, though, it's a beautiful day to be out on the water, with the best bet being a leisurely boat ride or paddle under the clear, sunny skies.
