Toke Point, WA Daily Water Report — October 7, 2026

Toke Point gets a solid go for boaters and a good, measured go for paddlers, divers, anglers, sailors, and shoreline explorers—but the ocean is not flat, so treat the 1.0–1.3 m sea as the day’s main fine print. Light NNW wind, generally 3–8 knots, is doing most of the heavy lifting. Wind waves are only 0.16 m, rain is not indicated, pressure is steady near 1018 hPa, and skies are forecast nearly clear. Boating leads the board at 8/10, with kayaking at 7.3/10; both benefit from the modest wind and weak south-setting ocean current of about 0.11 m/s. The calmest wave height is near midnight at 0.96 m, though darkness makes that a planning note rather than a blanket invitation. Daylight runs from 7:22 AM to 6:47 PM, with usable dawn-to-dusk light from 6:52 AM to 7:18 PM. For anglers, the strongest timing is the late-morning solunar major period, 9:53–11:53 AM, which overlaps the 11:40 AM high tide. Fishing rates 6.7/10, down from 7.8 yesterday and 7.7 on October 5, despite similarly light wind and steady pressure. A second major period runs 9:53–11:53 PM around the 11:37 PM high, but that is strictly a low-light or night-planning window. The 5:05 AM low is nearly bare at 0.09 m, and the 5:36 PM low is 0.54 m—useful tide timing for shoreline exploration, but exposed ground and changing water demand attention. Diving scores 7.6/10, supported by light wind and a marine SST of 16 C, but surface wave energy remains a tradeoff. Atmospheric visibility is forecast at 14.1 km; that is not an underwater-visibility reading. The SST is 1.6 C above average, while the supplied chlorophyll reading is high, but neither substitutes for a direct water-clarity check. Compared with the recent run, today is a little less friendly for fishing, paddling, sailing, and wildlife than the very light-wind days earlier this week, while boating remains reliably strong. Thursday stays similar offshore, Friday turns breezier and potentially rougher, and Sunday into Monday looks notably calmer; Monday’s 0.8–0.9 m waves are the standout marine outlook. Best bet: launch or fish the late-morning high-tide window, when light wind and the 9:53–11:53 AM solunar period line up best.
