Fishing, Crabbing & Surfing Analysis

Transparent environmental scores based on tide, wind and marine conditions. These are not user reports, catch guarantees or substitutes for official closures and safety guidance.

78/100 · Good

Fishing

Environmental planning guidance, not a catch guarantee.

Best planning window

2 hours around the next tide change

Manageable wind6 mph sustained wind
Moving waterA rising tide can improve nearshore feeding activity

Official Rules Take Precedence

Check current Alaska and federal fishing rules

71/100 · Good

Crabbing

Conditions are secondary to seasons, closures and safety.

Best planning window

Near slack water, if the marine area is open

Regulations requiredConfirm the marine area is open before setting gear
Calm surface6 mph wind favors safer gear handling
Large tidal exchange10.1 ft can increase current around gear

Official Rules Take Precedence

Verify current Alaska shellfish seasons and closures

23/100 · Poor

Surfing

Offshore model guidance with nearshore uncertainty.

Best planning window

Compare swell direction, local wind and tide before leaving

Limited swell0.0 ft NWS forecast waves
Wave period not publishedThe surf score uses available NWS wave height and local wind only
Nearshore uncertaintyOffshore model conditions are not the same as breaking-wave height at this beach

Official Rules Take Precedence
