Port Moller, AK Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

Today's conditions at Port Moller are a mixed bag for water enthusiasts. If you've got a sailboat, the winds are your friend today, delivering a solid 8.2/10 sailing score. With winds from the west at a brisk 14 knots and gusts up to 28, you'll find a lively day on the water. The waves are manageable, peaking at 0.7 meters, making for a spirited but not overwhelming ride. Fishing enthusiasts, it's a decent day to cast your line with a 6.6/10 score. The full moon and favorable solunar periods—particularly between 1:58-3:58 PM—could improve your catch. Just remember to bundle up; the air's a crisp 12°C, feeling more like 8.3°C with the wind chill. Surfers might find today less thrilling, with a moderate 6/10 surfing score. The wave period is short at 3.8 seconds, so expect a choppy session rather than smooth sets. Divers, however, might enjoy a plunge with a 7.5/10 score. Visibility is decent, though the chill of the 14.4°C sea surface temperature might warrant a thicker wetsuit. Kayakers and boaters should exercise caution. With a 5/10 for kayaking and 6/10 for boating, the wind and waves present a bit of a challenge, especially as the day progresses. Wildlife watchers score a pleasant 7.5/10, so keep your eyes peeled during the solunar windows for a chance to spot some action. Looking ahead, the weather seems keen on keeping us on our toes with rain likely over the next few days. Winds will ease slightly tomorrow but expect them to pick up again by the weekend. If you're planning your best bet for the week, Saturday's the day for a brisk sail with a fresh breeze and moderate waves.
