Cordova, AK Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

Today in Cordova, the water is calling with a mixed bag of opportunities. If you're looking to dive, conditions are quite favorable with a stellar score of 7.8 out of 10. With relatively calm waters and moderate wind, visibility should be decent, making it a prime day to explore beneath the surface. Sailors and boaters will also find today appealing, scoring 7.3 and 7.1 respectively. The easterly winds are steady at 8 knots, with gusts reaching up to 20 knots. While this might add a bit of excitement, it’s manageable for those experienced on the water. Boating and sailing enthusiasts should be aware of the rain forecast from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, though no significant precipitation is expected. For surfers and kayakers, today's conditions are a bit more challenging. Surfing scores a 6.1, with wave heights averaging 0.72 meters at a 4.6-second period. Not the most thrilling surf, but enough for a mellow session. Kayakers will need to navigate the wind and waves, scoring a 6.2, and should aim for early morning or late evening when winds are at their calmest. Fishing scores a 6 out of 10, with solunar periods suggesting peak activity around midday. The full moon might stir up some action, but the lack of tide data means it’s a bit of a gamble. Wildlife watchers can expect a decent day with a score of 6.7, likely benefiting from the same solunar effects. Looking ahead, tomorrow brings a high chance of rain and slightly higher temperatures. Conditions mellow out as the week progresses, with calmer seas and lower precipitation chances. If you're planning a trip, aim for August 30th when conditions are expected to be dry and winds light—a perfect day for a peaceful paddle or leisurely sail.
