CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Juneau, AK Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

Today is a splendid day for boating and kayaking around Juneau, with both activities scoring impressively high at 9 and 9.7 out of 10, respectively. The wind is whispering at just 1 knot from the northwest, with the occasional gust up to 13.4 knots expected by mid-afternoon. The waters are as calm as they come, with wave heights at a serene 0 meters—perfect for a leisurely paddle or a smooth boat ride. Fishing enthusiasts will find decent conditions with a score of 6.4, slightly up from yesterday. The solunar periods suggest the best bites might happen around noon and again late at night. However, without tide data, you'll need to rely on your instincts and perhaps a bit of luck. Surfing isn't the go-to today, with a score of 4.5, as the ocean remains flat with no swell to speak of. Divers, on the other hand, can enjoy a solid 7.6 score, thanks to the calm waters and likely decent underwater visibility. Wildlife watchers might find the conditions less than ideal compared to yesterday's 8.3 score, but the full moon tonight could add a magical touch to any evening excursions. Looking ahead, expect wetter conditions with a 100% chance of rain starting tomorrow and persisting through the end of the month. Winds will pick up slightly, but waves will remain flat—a trend that continues well into early September. By September 2nd, there's a glimmer of hope for drier weather with only a 22% chance of rain. For today, take advantage of the rare, glassy calm of the water. It's a perfect day to glide through Juneau's marine beauty without a ripple in sight.
