Juneau, AK Daily Water Report — August 27, 2026

Today is a stellar day for boating around Juneau, with an impressive suitability score of 9.3 out of 10. The sea is as calm as it gets, with wave heights and swells sitting at a flat zero. This means smooth sailing for those looking to take advantage of the serene waters. Kayakers will also find near-perfect conditions, scoring an 8.8, thanks to the absence of wind waves and currents, making for an easy paddle. The weather is cooperative, with light winds from the WNW at 4 knots, gusting up to 11 knots. Temperatures are quite mild, ranging from 10.6 to 17 degrees Celsius, though it feels slightly cooler with a high humidity of 97%. Despite the overcast sky, visibility is excellent at over 48 kilometers, so you can enjoy those expansive Alaskan views. Fishing isn't too shabby either, with a score of 6.1. The solunar periods suggest the best bites might come around midday or late at night. However, without tide data, those looking to cast a line should keep an eye on the solunar periods and any changing conditions. Surfers, on the other hand, might want to sit this one out, as the waves are non-existent, leading to a score of 4.5. Divers will find decent conditions with a score of 7.7, though the lack of water temperature data means you should be prepared for anything. Looking ahead, the weather is set to take a turn with rain on the horizon and winds picking up from August 29th onwards. The calm waters are expected to persist, so if you're planning a boating or kayaking trip, today is your best bet. Enjoy the serene waters while they last!
