Seavey Island, ME Daily Water Report — August 26, 2026

Today is a green light for boating and kayaking around Seavey Island, with a fantastic boating score of 9.2/10 and kayaking not far behind at 8.6/10. The calm morning waters, with wave heights around 0.42m, and light northwest winds make for a smooth ride. Conditions are almost idyllic, with the air warming from a crisp 14.4°C to a pleasant 24.8°C, and no rain in sight. Fishing enthusiasts will find the best bite during the solunar major periods from 9:15 to 11:15 AM and 9:15 to 11:15 PM, though the overall score of 6.9/10 suggests patience might be needed. The waxing gibbous moon at 95% illumination could influence some nocturnal activity, so consider a late night outing. Divers can look forward to a steady score of 7.6/10, consistent with recent days, buoyed by stable water temperatures and minimal wind waves. However, the high chlorophyll concentration indicates bloom conditions, which could affect visibility underwater. For surfers, the modest swells of 0.34m at 5.2 seconds from the southeast aren’t offering much excitement, reflected in a surfing score of 5.3/10. Sailors might find the inconsistent winds a bit frustrating, with a score of 5.6/10, especially as gusts pick up to 20 knots by evening. Looking ahead, tomorrow’s conditions are set to be similar, though the winds will pick up slightly. By the weekend, expect a bit more variability with a slight chance of rain on the 28th. For those planning ahead, the best bet for calm waters and mild conditions is early morning tomorrow, before winds start to stir things up.
