TEMCO Kalama Terminal, WA Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today's conditions at the TEMCO Kalama Terminal are as calm and inviting as they come, particularly for those looking to kayak or boat. With a stellar kayaking score of 9.6 out of 10 and boating close behind at 8.9, the water is practically begging for paddles and propellers. The wind is a gentle whisper from the SSE at just 1 knot, with gusts barely making a ripple at 4 knots. This serenity extends to the water's surface, with wave heights flatlining at 0 meters. Fishing enthusiasts will find a respectable 7.8 score today, thanks to favorable solunar periods and steady barometric pressure, which is on the rise at 1011 hPa. If you're casting lines, the major solunar windows from 03:22 to 05:22 and 15:22 to 17:22 offer the best opportunities to reel in a catch. While divers will find decent conditions with a score of 7.6, surfers might want to sit this one out, as the surf score remains a lackluster 4.5. The absence of swell and wave action means it’s not the day for catching waves. Wildlife watchers, however, can rejoice with a high score of 9.2, making it a great day to spot local fauna, especially during the minor solunar periods. The weather remains dry with no rain predicted, and temperatures ranging from a cool 15.5°C in the morning to a mild 20.0°C in the afternoon. As the week progresses, expect cooler temperatures and increased chances of rain, particularly on September 2nd and 3rd, when precipitation chances soar to over 85%. For today, the best bet is to grab your kayak and enjoy the glassy waters. With such calm conditions, it's a perfect time to paddle out and soak up the serene beauty of the Columbia River.
