Juneau, AK Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today's the day to hit the water around Juneau, especially if you're into boating or kayaking. With a calm sea surface and a boating score of 8.5 out of 10, conditions are ideal for a smooth ride. Kayakers, you're in for a treat with an even higher score of 8.7. The gentle northwest breeze, peaking at 14 knots, should provide just enough push without turning your paddle into a struggle. Fishing enthusiasts will find better luck than in recent days, as solunar periods align nicely with the early morning and late afternoon. A solid 7 out of 10 fishing score suggests some decent opportunities, particularly if you can time your outing with the solunar major periods from 3:12 to 5:12 AM and 3:12 to 5:12 PM. Remember, while the pressure is dropping slightly, it's not a deal-breaker for the catch. Surfers, you'll want to sit this one out with a flat 0-meter wave height across the board. The surfing score remains low at 4.5, consistent with recent history. Divers, meanwhile, have a favorable 7.8 score to look forward to, thanks to calm waters and decent underwater clarity, even without specific SST data. Looking ahead, expect similar conditions with minimal wave action and mild temperatures. The forecast through the weekend shows no significant shifts, with temperatures hovering in the high teens and low winds. The chance of rain increases slightly by early next week, so make the most of these calm days. In short, if you're in Juneau today, grab your paddle or your fishing rod and enjoy the serene waters. The calm seas are a rare gem—perfect for those who prefer tranquility over tumult.
