Cutler Farris Wharf, ME Daily Water Report — August 25, 2026

Today at Cutler Farris Wharf, we've got a mixed bag for water enthusiasts, but overall, it's a decent day to be on the water. With diving scoring a solid 8.2/10, it's a prime opportunity to explore beneath the surface. The water temperature sits at a comfortable 16.1°C, and visibility is decent, making for an enjoyable dive. Boaters and paddlers will find today slightly above average with scores of 6.8/10 and 7.1/10 respectively. The wind is gentle, barely whispering at 0 knots and gusting up to 2 knots, which should provide a smooth ride. However, keep an eye out for the stronger gusts expected around 19:00, reaching up to 15 knots. The wave height is relatively stable, hovering between 0.7m and 0.9m, calming down to 0.66m by 23:00, which suggests a more tranquil evening on the water. Surfers will find conditions fair with a score of 6.8/10, thanks to the 0.88m waves with a 5.95-second period. It's not the biggest surf, but enough to catch a ride. The swell coming from 180 degrees complements these conditions well, although it's not quite as thrilling as it was a couple of days ago. Fishing is slightly down today at 6.2/10. The solunar major period from 08:12 to 10:12 offers the best chance for a catch, but the high tide at 09:45 may complicate things a bit. Comparatively, fishing was a touch better on the 24th, so patience might be necessary. Looking ahead, the weather remains mostly calm through the week, with a slight uptick in wave activity by the 28th, potentially offering better conditions for surfers. For those seeking a serene experience, tonight's calm waters around 23:00 are your best bet for a peaceful paddle under the waxing gibbous moon.
