Cutler Farris Wharf, ME Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

Today's conditions at Cutler Farris Wharf are a mixed bag, with some activities enjoying better prospects than others. Diving enthusiasts will find near-perfect conditions with a high suitability score of 8.7/10, thanks to manageable wind and wave heights, alongside decent water clarity. Meanwhile, sailors can look forward to a solid day on the water, scoring a 7.8/10, with a steady northeast wind reaching up to 11.8 knots and relatively mild wave action. For those interested in fishing, the score sits at 5.8/10. The solunar major period in the early evening from 17:45 to 19:45 might offer the best window, coinciding nicely with the high tide at 19:24. Just be mindful of the rain expected between 19:00 and 21:00, which could dampen the experience. Kayakers and boaters will face some challenges with a moderate current moving at 0.6 m/s and wind gusts reaching up to 21.8 knots later in the evening; however, the relatively calm morning sea state offers a decent opportunity before conditions become less favorable. Surfers could find some joy in the modest 0.5m wave height and 6.25-second period, but with a score of 5.9/10, it's not the most thrilling day. The water temperature is on the warmer side, courtesy of a significant SST anomaly of +4.1°C, which might bring some comfort to those braving the waves. Looking ahead, the weather seems to calm down after today, with decreasing wind speeds and minimal rain chances from August 25 onward. If you're planning a dive, today is your best bet to catch those ideal conditions before the waves and swell pick up later in the week.
