Longview, WA Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today in Longview, WA, it's a stellar day to hit the water if you're into kayaking or boating. With scores of 9.9 and 9.1 out of 10, respectively, these activities are the clear winners. The conditions are nearly perfect thanks to the absolutely flat seas—waves are nonexistent at 0 meters, making it an ideal day for paddlers and small craft enthusiasts who appreciate smooth gliding. The wind is practically a whisper, coming in from the east at a mere 0 knots, gusting very gently up to 5 knots. This lack of wind keeps the water surface calm and manageable, a welcome change from the occasional breezes we've seen in recent days. The air temperature is a comfortable 16.9°C, feeling a bit warmer at 18.6°C, which adds to the pleasantness of a day spent outdoors. Fishing is also looking up with a solid 7.8 out of 10, a nice improvement from yesterday's 5.8. The solunar major periods from 3:23 to 5:23 AM and again from 3:23 to 5:23 PM could provide the best opportunities to reel in a catch. Wildlife watchers should also take note, as today's conditions score an 8.6. The calm environment and high solunar rating make it a good day to observe nature at its most serene. However, surfing and sailing enthusiasts might want to sit this one out, as the surfing score remains low at 4.5, and sailing isn't much better at 4.6. The flat conditions simply don't provide the waves or wind needed for an exhilarating sail or ride. Looking ahead, expect cooler temperatures and increased chances of rain in the coming days, particularly on September 2nd and 3rd, when precipitation chances soar to 86% and 90%, respectively. For now, though, grab your kayak and enjoy the glassy waters—it's a rare treat!
