Fishing, Crabbing & Surfing Analysis

These scores use the available tide, wind, and marine data. They do not predict catches, report local activity, or replace safety notices.

84/100 · Very good

Fishing

Environmental planning guidance, not a catch guarantee.

Best planning window

2 hours around the next tide change

Manageable wind5 mph sustained wind
Mostly dry0% precipitation chance
Moving waterA rising tide can improve nearshore feeding activity

Official Rules Take Precedence

Check current Alaska and federal fishing rules

83/100 · Very 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 surface5 mph wind favors safer gear handling
Moderate tidal exchange6.6 ft range in the next cycle

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
