CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Westport, WA Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today in Westport, the surf's up, and surfers should seize the opportunity with an 8/10 suitability score, the highest of any activity. With wave heights around 1.06 meters peaking at a 9.65-second period, these conditions are perfect for catching some smooth rides, especially with the gentle NNW winds keeping things manageable. The best surfing window aligns nicely with the afternoon high tide at 15:34, offering a prime time to hit the waves. For those considering boating or kayaking, today is decent but not exceptional, with scores hovering around the mid-6s. The winds, ranging from 4.9 to 12.3 knots, could pick up later in the evening, with the strongest gusts expected at 22:00. It's a good idea to wrap up your adventures before then to avoid choppier conditions. Fishing enthusiasts might find today slightly less favorable compared to earlier this week, with a score of 5.6/10. The solunar major periods early in the morning and mid-afternoon might offer the best chances for a catch. However, with high chlorophyll levels indicating a bloom, water clarity could be compromised, potentially affecting visibility and fish behavior. Diving conditions are stable, scoring a 6.7/10. Although the water temperature is a bit warmer than average at 16.1°C, the bloom conditions could impact underwater visibility. Plan your dives around the calmer wave periods, particularly close to midnight when the seas are at their calmest. Looking ahead, expect a shift in conditions with increasing chances of rain and stronger winds in the coming days, especially on September 2nd when the swell could reach up to 2.0 meters. But for now, surfers should relish the current sweet spot, as today's conditions offer some of the best waves you'll see this week.
