Tacoma, WA Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today is a fantastic day for boating enthusiasts in Tacoma, with a near-perfect score of 8.8 out of 10. The waters are exceptionally calm with wave heights at a consistent 0 meters throughout the day, making for smooth sailing. Winds are manageable, peaking at 8.4 knots from the north, with the strongest gusts expected this evening around 8 PM. While fishing scores a decent 6.6, it's a bit below recent days due to the slightly lower pressure trend and less favorable solunar periods. Early risers might find the best bites during the major solunar period from 2:31 to 4:31 AM. As for kayaking, it's a great day to paddle with a solid 7.8 score, thanks to the calm conditions and mild temperatures ranging from 12.7 to 23.7 degrees Celsius. Surfers, however, might want to sit this one out, as the surfing score remains at a low 4.5 due to the lack of swell and wave action. The same goes for diving, which is not scored today—perhaps a sign to stay above water. Wildlife watchers will find today slightly less dynamic than previous days, with a 6.2 score. The calm winds and low tide cycles might still offer some interesting observations, especially around the minor solunar periods. Looking ahead, expect a slight cooling trend with temperatures dipping to 16.9 degrees Celsius by September 3rd, accompanied by increased chances of rain. If you're planning water activities, aim for today or September 5th when conditions are predicted to improve again. In summary, grab your boat and enjoy the tranquility of the Puget Sound today. It's a boater's paradise out there!
