Skamokawa, WA Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today in Skamokawa, the water is calling your name, especially if you're into boating or kayaking. With a near-perfect boating score of 9.6/10 and kayaking close behind at 9.4/10, the conditions are prime for a smooth glide over the water. The wind is a gentle whisper from the WNW at 2 knots, with only minor gusts expected later tonight. The calm waters, with wave heights at a steady 0m, make for ideal paddling and boating conditions. While the fishing score has dipped to 5.8/10 from yesterday's 7.8/10, the solunar periods suggest a couple of decent windows around dawn and mid-afternoon. The morning high tide at 04:38 and the afternoon high tide at 16:44 could also play into your strategy, but be aware of the low pressure trend which might have fish feeling a bit sluggish. Surfing remains lackluster with a 4.5/10 score, consistent with recent days. No swell and zero wave action mean you'll be better off sticking to other water activities. Diving, however, is looking good with an 8/10 score, thanks to stable winds and water temperatures holding at a comfortable 15.6°C. As the barometric pressure falls, keep an eye on the forecast for changes. The coming days promise cooler temperatures and higher chances of rain, especially midweek. But for now, enjoy the sun, which will hang around until sunset at 19:58, providing a beautiful backdrop for your adventures. If you’re planning to be out on the water today, the best bet is to grab your kayak or hop on a boat and take full advantage of the serene conditions. Just remember, the calm before the storm is the perfect time to paddle your heart out.
