CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Port Alexander, AK Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today at Port Alexander, surfers are in for a treat with a 7.9/10 suitability score. The 2.02-meter waves at an 8.2-second period are rolling in from the southwest, creating some exciting opportunities to catch a ride. Just be prepared for a bit of a challenge from the 5-knot winds gusting up to 14 knots. The persistent rain might dampen your spirits, but it's not enough to keep the dedicated off the board. For anglers, the 5.8/10 score suggests a decent day with some timing needed to hit the solunar major period around lunchtime. The fishing isn't quite as promising as it was two days ago, but there's still a good chance of success if you plan your outing around the solunar peaks. Boaters and kayakers will have to contend with the wind and waves, which are less than ideal today. Boating scores a 5.3/10 and kayaking a mere 4.5/10. The wind waves and ocean currents could make for a bumpy ride, so only venture out if you're prepared for a challenge. Visibility is a mere 0.58 km due to the constant drizzle, which could be a deterrent for divers, who have a 5.6/10 day. With water temperatures slightly above average at 14.3°C, it’s bearable, but the lack of clarity might make it less enjoyable. Looking ahead, the weather remains unsettled with rain expected to persist through the end of the month. Winds are forecasted to peak on September 1st, so plan your adventures accordingly. The best bet for the coming days? If you're a surfer, tomorrow's slightly calmer waves might be the sweet spot before the wind picks up again.
