Skamokawa, WA Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

Today in Skamokawa, it's a stellar day for water sports enthusiasts, with kayaking, boating, and diving leading the pack. Both kayaking and boating score an impressive 8.6 and 8.5 out of 10, respectively, thanks to the perfectly calm waters. With wave heights at a flat 0 meters, you won't find a smoother ride. The wind is a gentle northwesterly breeze, peaking at just over 10 knots later tonight, providing just enough push for a leisurely sail without too much effort. The ocean temperature is a comfortable 16.4°C, a touch warmer than usual, which is likely to please divers today. Diving conditions are excellent, scoring an 8.1, with clear skies and calm waters making for a serene underwater exploration. Fishing, while not at its peak, still offers decent prospects with a score of 6.2. The solunar periods suggest the best fishing windows are early in the morning and again in the early evening. Although the lack of tide data might leave some anglers guessing, the stable barometric pressure and light winds should make for a pleasant outing. Surfers, however, might want to sit this one out. With a score of 4.5, the sea is as flat as a pancake, offering little in the way of waves to ride. Looking ahead, the weather remains mostly calm with little chance of rain, although temperatures on the 24th are expected to spike dramatically. Those planning outdoor activities should prepare for a bit of a heatwave then. For today, though, smooth waters and mild conditions make it an ideal time to hit the water, especially for those in a kayak or boat. If you’re looking for a day to unwind on the water without battling the elements, today is your day.
