Village Cove, St Paul Island, AK Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Today at Village Cove, the water's calling for the adventurous. Sailing takes the crown with a solid 7.4/10, thanks to robust southern winds averaging 19 knots and gusting to 25. These conditions promise a thrilling ride for those who can handle the chop. Surfing also scores a respectable 7.1/10, with wave heights peaking at 3.3 meters and a consistent swell from 235 degrees. If you’re ready to barrel through, the surf's up. Fishing enthusiasts can expect a decent day with a 7.2/10 rating, bolstered by favorable solunar periods in the morning and evening. The tides are playing nice too, with a high of 1.01 meters around 10:23 PM, offering some good windows for casting. However, it's a tough day for boaters and kayakers, with scores of 2.8/10 and 2.4/10 respectively, due to the choppy seas and strong currents pushing at 1.8 m/s. Diving's not much better at 4.8/10, with the water temperature at a chilly 8.3°C and visibility likely hindered by the overcast skies. Compared to recent days, today's conditions are a bit rougher, especially for those looking for a leisurely paddle or a calm boating experience. The barometric pressure is dropping, indicating a pressure front that’s keeping the atmosphere damp and the skies overcast, with humidity at a whopping 98%. Looking ahead, the weather is set to remain gusty and wet tomorrow, with a 92% chance of rain, but things should calm down a bit by September 6th, when winds drop to a more manageable 13.3 knots. If you're planning an outing, keep your eye on the weather and aim for later in the week when conditions ease. Best bet today? Grab your sail and harness the wind; it's a sailor's day out there.
