Seavey Island, ME Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today at Seavey Island, it's a splendid day for boating and kayaking. With scores of 9.4 and 9, respectively, the gentle winds and calm seas make for a nearly perfect day on the water. The wind is a light 2 knots from the north, with occasional gusts up to 11 knots, which won't disrupt your paddle or cruise. The sea surface temperature is a comfortable 18.8°C, with a slight anomaly above average, adding a touch of warmth to your outing. The waves are at their calmest around 8:00 a.m., dipping to just 0.26 meters, which is ideal for paddlers seeking a serene experience. The tide swings are notable today, with a high tide peaking at 2.73 meters in the early afternoon. These conditions might not be the best for surfing, which scores a modest 4.9/10, due to the minimal swell of 0.2 meters at 5.65 seconds. For divers, visibility is decent, and a score of 7.6/10 suggests a satisfying dive experience, though the high chlorophyll levels indicate a bloom, which could affect underwater clarity. Fishing scores a solid 6.6/10, aligned with solunar windows in the early morning and afternoon, though you may need to contend with the bloom's impact on water clarity. Looking ahead, the weather is set to remain mostly stable with mild winds and a slight chance of rain increasing after tomorrow. By September 3rd, expect a noticeable uptick in wave activity, which could spice up conditions for surfers and sailors alike. For today, though, the best bet is to grab your kayak or hop on your boat and enjoy the tranquil waters while they last.
