Cutler Farris Wharf, ME Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Today at Cutler Farris Wharf, the conditions make for a solid day on the water, especially for divers and sailors. Diving tops the charts with an 8.3 out of 10, thanks to calm seas and stable atmospheric pressure. The water temperature at 15.5°C is a touch warmer than average, which should make for a comfortable dive. Sailing is also a good option with a score of 7.6, aided by a consistent NNE breeze around 7 knots, offering just enough wind without being blustery. Fishing holds steady at 6.9, similar to yesterday. With the waning gibbous moon and favorable solunar periods around the high tides at 15:02, anglers might find their best luck in the afternoon. However, the relatively high chlorophyll levels don't necessarily translate to more active fish, so bring your patience. Boating and kayaking are decent picks for the day, both scoring around 7.0. The wave heights are modest, peaking at 0.6 meters, which should keep the ride smooth enough for most small craft. But keep an eye on the ocean current moving at 2.5 m/s toward the southwest, which could be a bit tricky for less experienced paddlers. Surfing is a bit more of a gamble at 6.3. The waves, while not monstrous, might not offer the most thrilling sessions, but they should be fun for beginners or those looking for a leisurely paddle. Looking ahead, the weather takes a wetter turn tomorrow with a 95% chance of rain and stronger winds. By the weekend, things should calm down with lower winds and minimal precipitation, making Saturday a potential gem for all water activities. Best bet: Dive into the calm waters today before the weather shifts tomorrow.
