CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Neah Bay, WA Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today in Neah Bay, surfers have the green light with a solid 7.9/10 score, thanks to wave heights around 0.98 meters and a swell coming from 286 degrees. The wind is light at 5 knots from the east, offering favorable conditions for catching some decent rides. If you're planning to paddle out, the best window might be around the solunar major period from 14:41 to 16:41, coinciding nicely with the afternoon high tide at 15:24. Boaters and kayakers can also enjoy a good day on the water with scores of 7.1/10 and 6.6/10, respectively. The calmest seas were predicted near midnight, but conditions remain relatively stable throughout the day. The marine surface temperature sits at a comfortable 15°C, though it's noticeably warmer than average by nearly 3 degrees. For anglers, the fishing score is a bit lower at 5.6/10. The solunar periods suggest early morning and late afternoon might be your best bets, but the dropping barometric pressure and high chlorophyll levels could complicate things. If you're hoping to spot some wildlife, the 6.8/10 score suggests a decent chance, especially around the low tides when feeding activity could peak. Comparing to recent days, today's conditions are a slight step down for divers and boaters compared to yesterday's highs. However, surfing has improved from a 6.4/10 to a 7.9/10, making it the standout activity today. Looking ahead, expect a bit more wind tomorrow with a peak at 12.8 knots and a slight chance of rain. The weekend brings a mixed bag, with a significant chance of rain on September 2nd and calming seas by September 5th. If you're planning an outing, keep an eye on the forecast and aim for the early part of next week when conditions are set to stabilize. Best bet: Grab your board and hit the surf this afternoon for some solid wave action under clear skies.
