CatchWindow fishing intelligence

Port Moller, AK Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today at Port Moller, it's a mixed bag for water activities. Sailing takes the top spot with a robust score of 8.2 out of 10. The steady westerly winds, peaking at 13 knots with gusts up to 31 knots, provide ample power for sails. Divers can also enjoy a decent day with a score of 7.3, thanks to manageable wave heights and a sea surface temperature of 13.9°C. Fishing and surfing are tied at 6.7. Anglers should aim for the solunar major periods from 5 to 7 AM and 5 to 7 PM for the best chances. Surfers might find the 0.8-meter waves acceptable, but the short 4-second period and wind-driven chop could be challenging. Boaters and kayakers should exercise caution, with scores of 6.1 and 5.1 respectively, as gusty winds and a persistent ocean current could make for a bumpy ride. Comparing with recent days, the fishing score has improved slightly from yesterday's 6.4, while diving has seen a small dip from 7.6. The wildlife score has also taken a hit, dropping from 8.5 to 6, likely due to less favorable wind conditions. Looking ahead, the coming days promise more variability. Tomorrow, expect slightly calmer seas but an increased chance of rain at 90%. By September 3rd, winds will ramp up to nearly 22 knots, with rain sticking around. The weekend promises some relief from the rain and a gentle decrease in wind speeds, particularly on Saturday. For a memorable outing today, set your sails and catch the wind; it's a sailor's day to shine amidst the gusts.
