CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Seattle, WA Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today in Seattle, the waters are positively inviting for boaters and kayakers with scores of 9.2 and 8.6 respectively. The calm wave conditions, hovering around 0.1m with only modest wind gusts up to 9.7 knots later in the evening, make for a smooth and enjoyable ride. These conditions are only slightly different from yesterday, where boating scored an impressive 9.3, largely due to the slightly higher pressure today at 1012 hPa, which is on a gentle decline. For those looking to fish, the day is decent with a 6.6 score. The best solunar windows are early morning from 2:31 to 4:31 and again in the afternoon from 14:31 to 16:31. The barometric pressure is falling, which might stir up some action, but it’s not as high as the 7.9 seen on August 30th. The tides are providing a mixed bag, with the highest at 3.50m around 19:41, which could be worth timing your outing for. Surfing enthusiasts might want to hold off, as the waves are quite tame, scoring only 4.5, unchanged from the past week. This is more of a day for paddling than catching big swells. Visibility is excellent at 23.4 km, and with no rain forecast, it's a great day for diving with a respectable score of 7.6. While not as high as earlier in the week, it’s still a solid choice for underwater explorers seeking clarity. Looking ahead, the winds are expected to pick up slightly tomorrow, with a chance of rain increasing significantly by September 2nd. The best bet for today? Grab your kayak and enjoy the serene waters before the weather shifts.
