Sand Point, AK Daily Water Report — August 28, 2026

Today's conditions at Sand Point are a mixed bag, but there are some great windows for certain activities. Surfing and sailing take the top spots with scores of 8/10, thanks to consistent wind and decent wave action. The swell is coming in at 1.28 meters from the southwest, paired with a nice wave height of around 1.56 meters, making for a fun day on the board. Sailors will appreciate the steady winds from the west-northwest, peaking at 21 knots early on but calming as the day progresses. For anglers, a 6.3/10 score suggests a decent outing, especially during the solunar major periods from 1:56 to 3:56 AM and again from 1:56 to 3:56 PM. The full moon might also lend a hand by stirring up some fish activity. However, the high chlorophyll levels indicate a bloom, which could impact water clarity. Boaters and kayakers face a bit of a challenge today. With a boating score of 5.8/10 and kayaking at 4.3/10, the gusty winds and wave conditions might make for a bumpy ride. If you do head out, the calmest waters are expected around 11 PM, with waves dipping to approximately 1.42 meters. Divers will find conditions slightly better than yesterday, with a score of 5.5/10. While the water temperature remains chilly at 9.7°C, the stable barometric pressure at 1015 hPa provides some consistency. Looking ahead, conditions stabilize with less wind and lower chances of rain over the next couple of days, making them ideal for calmer water activities. By September 1st, we expect a warm-up with lighter winds, offering a nice break from today's bluster. If you're chasing the best moment today, grab your surfboard or set sail before the wind peaks in the morning—it's the kind of day where riding the waves is the name of the game.
