TEMCO Kalama Terminal, WA Daily Water Report — August 24, 2026

Today at the TEMCO Kalama Terminal, the water is as calm as it gets, making it a prime day for boating and kayaking. With wave heights at a steady and serene 0 meters, the water is practically a mirror, perfect for those looking to glide smoothly across the surface. Boaters will find an excellent 8.7 out of 10 score, and kayakers can expect a solid 7.6. The gentle NNW winds, peaking at a modest 13.4 knots earlier this morning, should not pose much of a challenge. However, anglers might find today's fishing prospects a bit lackluster compared to recent days. Today's fishing score has dipped to 5.7 out of 10, a notable drop from yesterday's 8.2. With the barometric pressure on a downward trend and solunar major periods hitting between 9:13-11:13 AM, timing will be crucial for those hoping to reel in a catch. Diving conditions remain consistent with a score of 7.6, but with the marine surface temperature data unavailable, divers should be prepared for variable conditions. Meanwhile, sailing enjoys a respectable 8 out of 10 score, thanks to favorable winds and clear skies, though it's not quite as thrilling as yesterday's gustier conditions. Surfing remains the least favorable activity today, with a score of 4.5 out of 10. The absence of any waves or swell means surfers might want to swap their boards for paddles. Looking ahead, expect similar serene conditions through the weekend, with temperatures gradually cooling and the wind remaining manageable. The best bet today is undoubtedly a leisurely boating or kayaking trip, where you can take full advantage of the glassy waters and embrace the tranquil beauty of the Columbia River.
