CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Westport, WA Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today in Westport, the water activities are a mixed bag with the elements playing both friend and foe. Sailing takes the spotlight with an impressive 8.6/10 score, thanks to a steady SSW breeze averaging 11 knots and gusting up to 23 knots. This wind, coupled with manageable wave heights around 1.22 meters, makes it a delightful day for those with a sail. Surfers can also rejoice with a solid 7.9/10, as the waves are consistent and the swell is coming in at a favorable angle. The calmest conditions are expected around midday, so aim for the early afternoon if you're looking to catch some decent rides. Fishing and wildlife enthusiasts will find the conditions decent, scoring 7.2/10. The solunar periods suggest early morning and late afternoon as the prime times, so plan accordingly. However, the high chlorophyll levels indicate a bloom, which might affect visibility and could be a double-edged sword for fishing. Kayakers and boaters, brace yourselves. The wind and waves make for a more challenging day on the water, reflected in lower scores of 3.5/10 and 5/10 respectively. It's not the best day for a leisurely paddle or a casual boating trip, so proceed with caution if you're heading out. Diving conditions are slightly better at 6.6/10, but the high chlorophyll concentration might reduce underwater visibility, so divers should manage expectations. Looking ahead, a wet spell is on the horizon with increasing winds and wave heights peaking on September 3rd. If you're planning outdoor activities, the latter part of next week looks more promising as conditions calm down. For today, sailors and surfers have the best of it, so hoist your sails or grab your board and make the most of the favorable winds and waves.
