Juneau, AK Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today's conditions in Juneau make it a prime day for boating and kayaking, with scores of 8.1/10 and 7.9/10 respectively. The calm waters, with wave heights holding steady at 0 meters, provide an ideal environment for these activities. The wind is relatively gentle, averaging 7 knots from the ESE, though gusts can reach up to 27.2 knots, particularly around late morning. This means while the water is inviting, it's wise to be mindful of those sudden gusts. Fishing enthusiasts will find the conditions moderately favorable, with a score of 6/10. The full moon tonight might add a bit of mystery to your catch, though the constant drizzle throughout the day—0.4 mm of rain—could dampen spirits. Solunar periods suggest a bite window late at night and early afternoon, so plan accordingly. The diving conditions are also decent, scoring 7.6/10, despite the water temperature data being elusive. The lack of waves and wind waves today offers a smooth experience beneath the surface. Visibility, however, is a mere 3.14 km, so underwater explorers should be prepared for reduced clarity. Surfers might want to sit this one out, as the wave conditions are utterly flat with a 4.5/10 score. Similarly, sailing enthusiasts could face some challenges with the variable gusts, scoring a modest 6.5/10. As we look ahead, expect consistent rain through the end of August, with temperatures hovering in the low teens. The first week of September promises a break in the rain, with cooler temperatures and lighter winds, making it potentially a better time for all water activities. In summary, while the rain might persist, the calm waters today offer the best bet for boating and kayaking. Keep an eye on those gusts, and you’ll have a splendid day out on the water.
