Seavey Island, ME Daily Water Report — August 22, 2026

Seavey Island is serving up a mixed bag today, with boating taking the spotlight at a solid 7.3/10. If you're looking to hit the water, the calmest seas are just past midnight, though the day holds steady at a manageable 0.6 to 0.9 meters. The wind is a gentle north-easterly at 5 knots, with gusts peaking at 15.4 knots around 4 PM. It's a bit on the humid side, but with no rain in sight, it's smooth sailing for most water activities. For surfers and kayakers, today's moderate wave action and manageable winds make for a decent outing, both scoring 6.9/10. The swell coming from the east at 0.58 meters adds some pep, but it’s not going to challenge seasoned surfers. Diving enthusiasts will appreciate the 19.4°C sea surface temperature, though the very high chlorophyll levels might cloud the underwater views a bit. Fishing today is a toss-up at 5.5/10. The solunar major periods just after sunrise and before sunset might boost your luck, but the waxing gibbous moon could keep the fish a bit shy. Wildlife watchers face similar odds, with a 5.7/10 score. The high chlorophyll suggests plenty of food in the water, but visibility might make spotting a challenge. Looking ahead, the weather promises to warm up slightly, with a gradual increase in wind speeds through the week. By midweek, expect a slight dip in wave height, which should make conditions even more appealing for boating and kayaking. For a memorable moment today, catch the sunset around 6:38 PM as the high tide rolls in—it's a perfect backdrop for wrapping up your day on the water.
