Village Cove, St Paul Island, AK Daily Water Report — August 29, 2026

Today at Village Cove, conditions are shaping up nicely for anglers, sailors, and wildlife enthusiasts, but caution is advised for those considering boating or kayaking. With fishing scoring a solid 8.1/10, the solunar periods and stable atmospheric pressure are aligning perfectly for a successful day on the water. The full moon tonight should add a touch of magic to your late-night or early-morning fishing endeavors. Sailing conditions are also favorable, scoring 8.2/10, thanks to consistent winds from the west-southwest averaging 11 knots. The wind gusts peaking at 16.3 knots later in the day will provide an invigorating experience for those who enjoy a bit of excitement on the open water. Surfers can expect decent conditions with a 7.7/10 score, as the swell from 250 degrees combines with a wave height averaging 1.3 meters. The ocean current is moving at a brisk 1.3 meters per second toward the east, which could add some challenge to your paddle out. Boaters and kayakers should exercise caution, though, with scores of 4.6/10 and 3.4/10 respectively. The combination of wind waves and ocean current might make for a choppy and less forgiving experience. Diving conditions have improved to 6.4/10, thanks to the relatively calm sea state expected around 22:00 when waves dip to 1.26 meters. Looking ahead, weather conditions are set to become more challenging with increasing winds and a high likelihood of rain from August 30th onward. Wave heights are expected to climb, particularly on September 1st, when they could reach up to 3 meters. So, if you're looking for a day to enjoy the water, today is your best bet before the weather takes a turn. Happy casting, and keep an eye on those solunar windows for the best catch!
