Yakutat, Yakutat Bay, AK Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Yakutat Bay is looking promising today, especially if you're planning to hit the waves or take the boat out. Surfing and boating both score a solid 7.9 out of 10, making them the standout activities. With waves around 1.16 meters at a 9-second interval and a swell coming from the southwest, surfers will find the conditions quite favorable. The wind is manageable, blowing at a steady 6 knots from the northwest, so it shouldn't interfere too much with your plans. For those interested in fishing, the score is a respectable 7.1. The solunar periods suggest a couple of prime windows, particularly early in the morning and late afternoon. The air temperature is hovering around 11.8°C, which might feel a bit cooler with the wind chill, so dress accordingly. Visibility is decent at nearly 10 kilometers, and with no rain in sight after the early morning hours, it's a good day to be outdoors. The barometric pressure is on the rise, which might be a slight advantage for anglers. Compared to yesterday, conditions have improved across the board, especially for divers, who will find a much better score of 7.6 today compared to yesterday's null rating. Looking ahead, the next few days promise mild conditions with minimal wind and little chance of rain until the weekend, when things might get a bit wetter. If you're planning a trip, aim for the earlier part of the week to enjoy the relatively calm seas and pleasant weather. In short, today is a day to seize, whether you're riding the surf or casting a line. The best bet? Grab your board and head for the waves while the conditions are just right.
