Cutler Farris Wharf, ME Daily Water Report — September 3, 2026

Today at Cutler Farris Wharf, the water is calling out to divers and surfers, while boaters and kayakers might want to think twice. With a diving score of 8/10, the conditions are prime for exploring underwater, thanks to manageable waves and a sea surface temperature anomaly that's slightly warmer than average. Surfers will also find a decent ride with a 7/10 score, as the swell is rolling in at 0.42 meters from 168 degrees, offering some playful waves. The wind is a mixed bag today, starting at a gentle 8 knots from the east, but prepare for gusts reaching up to 31.9 knots by 3 PM. This might challenge sailors, who still have a respectable 7.2/10 score to look forward to, especially in the morning before the gusts peak. Visibility is a mere 0.1 km, so keep your eyes peeled and your lights bright if you're venturing out. The tides are on a predictable swing, with a high tide cresting at 4.48 meters at 3:54 PM. This will likely stir up some interesting conditions for shoreline explorers and wildlife enthusiasts, who have a solid 7.8/10 score. However, a 100% cloud cover paired with consistent rain from 8 AM to 11 PM means you're in for a damp day, so dress accordingly. Recent days have seen slightly more favorable conditions for boating and kayaking, but today, with a boating score of 5.8 and kayaking at 4.9, the combination of rain, wind, and waves suggests a cautious approach. Looking ahead, conditions are set to improve with decreasing wave heights and less wind after today. By the weekend, expect a more tranquil sea state, especially on Sunday with waves dropping to as low as 0.2 meters. Best bet of the day: Grab your dive gear and embrace the depths, where visibility won't be hindered by the surface fog.
