Sand Point, AK Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Sand Point, today’s your day for a solid outing on the water. With fishing, surfing, and wildlife all scoring a commendable 7.2/10, there's a bit of something for everyone. The tides are offering a nice mix, with a high of 2.29 meters at 18:08, setting up an advantageous evening window for anglers and surfers alike, especially during the solunar major period from 17:53 to 19:53. The winds, blowing from the southwest at a manageable 8 knots, should provide a gentle push for sailors and boaters, though gusts might spike to 23.1 knots by 18:00. This is a step down from yesterday's breezier conditions, offering a more pleasant experience on the water. The barometer is on the rise, with pressure sitting comfortably at 1019 hPa, signaling stable weather without rain in sight. Wave heights hover around 0.96 meters with a calming period expected near 13:00, making this an ideal time for kayaking, though the score there sits a bit lower at 6.5/10. The water temperature at 11.1°C is crisp, so wetsuits are advised for anyone taking a dip. Visibility is quite poor at just 0.28 km, so keep a sharp eye out if you're navigating. While the UV index is low at 2.65, a bit of sun could peek through the 100% cloud cover, so don’t completely ditch the sunscreen. Looking ahead, brace for a wet weekend with rain probabilities ramping up to 100% by September 4th, coupled with rising wave and swell heights. If you’re planning to hit the water, today’s relatively calm seas and dry skies make it your best bet.
