Cordova, AK Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today in Cordova, it's a prime day for kayakers and boaters, with near-perfect conditions on the water. Kayaking scores an impressive 9.4 out of 10, thanks to minimal winds averaging 2 knots from the east-southeast and wave heights that hover around a gentle 0.34 meters. Boaters will enjoy an 8.8 out of 10 score, bolstered by the calm seas and stable atmospheric pressure, which sits comfortably at 1007 hPa. While fishing nets a decent 6.7 out of 10, the absence of tide data means anglers will need to rely heavily on solunar periods, with the major windows from 2:25 to 4:25 AM and 2:25 to 4:25 PM. The lack of rain and clear skies should ensure a pleasant day on the water, though a lack of significant wind could make for a slower sail, which is reflected in a lower sailing score of 4.6 out of 10. Surfers might find the waves less thrilling today, with a score of 5.1 out of 10. The swell is coming from the south-southwest at 0.22 meters, which might not provide the excitement they're chasing. However, with calm seas, it's still a good day to practice those longboard maneuvers. Looking back over the past few days, today's conditions are a slight improvement for kayaking and boating, compared to yesterday's slightly higher winds and cooler temperatures. As we look ahead, tomorrow's forecast hints at a significant chance of rain, with a 93% likelihood, so enjoy the dry conditions while they last. For those planning their next water adventure, keep an eye on September 1st, when the chance of precipitation drops dramatically, and temperatures rise to a more comfortable range. But for today, paddlers and boaters should seize this golden opportunity to hit the waters of Cordova.
