Longview, WA Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today in Longview, WA, the waters are calling for boaters and kayakers with near-perfect conditions. With a boating score of 9.2/10 and kayaking at 8.6/10, these activities are the stars of the day. The calm, glass-like surface of the water, thanks to a total absence of waves and swells, provides an ideal environment for a leisurely paddle or a smooth sail. Winds are gentle, hovering around 5 knots from the WNW, ensuring a pleasant outing without any surprise gusts. Fishing enthusiasts can look forward to a solid 7.8/10 rating. The solunar major periods from 1:48 to 3:48 PM should offer the best chance for a bite, although the lack of tide data means you'll need to rely on your instincts and the barometer, which is currently at 1016 hPa and falling. Surfers, on the other hand, might want to sit this one out. With a surfing score of 4.5/10, the flat conditions mean you'll be better off planning for a future session when the waves decide to show up. The weather is cooperating with clear skies and no rain in sight, making it a great day for wildlife spotting too. With a wildlife score of 7.6/10, you might catch a glimpse of the local fauna during the solunar minor periods around 8:18 to 9:18 AM and 8:18 to 9:18 PM. Looking ahead, expect a warm-up tomorrow with temperatures soaring up to 30.2°C, but keep an eye on the mid-week forecast when rain chances spike to 95% on September 2nd. For today, your best bet is to grab a kayak or hop on a boat and enjoy the serene waters under the clear, expansive sky.
