CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Port Moller, AK Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today at Port Moller, sailing takes the top spot with an 8.2 out of 10, indicating favorable conditions with consistent winds and manageable waves. If you're planning to set sail, the best window is during the morning before the rain begins around 14:00. Gusty winds up to 30 knots from the west will keep things lively, so hold on to your hats! Fishing is also promising with a score of 7.7, thanks to favorable solunar periods and relatively stable pressure. Early risers might find the best catch during the major solunar period from 03:25 to 05:25. However, the 97% humidity and a visibility of just 3.44 km might make spotting your catch a bit tricky. For surfers, the day offers a middling 5.2 score. Wave heights hover around 0.52 meters, peaking at 0.8 meters. The swell from 311 degrees and wind waves at 0.42 meters could provide some challenge, but it's not the most thrilling day for catching waves. Boaters and kayakers should be cautious due to the gusty winds, with scores of 6.4 and 5.5 respectively. If you do venture out, aim for the calmest period around 16:00 when wave heights dip to 0.34 meters. Keep an eye on the rain forecast, as showers are expected to persist until late evening. Diving conditions score a solid 7.6, despite the murky atmospheric visibility. The water temperature holds steady at 14.2°C, and wave action is moderate, making for a decent dive. Looking ahead, rain and winds continue through the week. The best bet for calmer seas and less precipitation might be September 4th, when wave heights drop to a mere 0.4 meters. For today, if you're up for a challenge, catch the wind and let it take you on a sailing adventure before the rain sets in.
