Westport, WA Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

Today in Westport, the water is calling with a "good-to-go" vibe, especially if you're boating or diving. With a boating score of 7.4/10 and diving at 7/10, the conditions are favorable thanks to manageable wave heights around 0.8 meters and a calm ocean current. The sea surface temperature is a comfortable 16.1°C, although it's running a bit warmer than average, which might make the water feel inviting for divers. The wind is a gentle northerly at 7 knots, peaking at just under 13 knots by late afternoon. This makes for decent sailing conditions, scoring a 6.8/10, though not as exceptional as the days earlier this week, especially compared to the stellar sailing day on the 23rd. Kayakers can also enjoy a relatively smooth paddle with a 6.9/10 score, thanks to the light wind and small wind waves. Fishing scores a 6.5/10, which is solid but not spectacular. The full moon might be playing tricks with the fish, offering a challenge for those looking to reel in a big one, despite the high chlorophyll levels suggesting potential fish activity. Surfing shares the same score, with waves peaking at 1 meter later in the day. It's not the epic surf of the 26th, but still worth a paddle out. Looking ahead, weather conditions remain stable with temperatures hovering between 13.9°C and 18.8°C over the next few days. Winds will stay moderate, but keep an eye on the forecast for the 2nd of September when things get a bit wilder with stronger winds and significant wave action. For a memorable outing today, consider a sunset paddle or sail. The calmest seas are expected around 10 PM, perfect for a serene end-of-day glide.
