You should see plenty of activity all day since it is a busy harbor. Lunch to afternoon would be when I would plan to observe boating activity.
Marine life is mostly out in the bay (Resurrection Bay). Suggest taking a wildlife boat tour to view sea lions, puffins, whales, sea otters, bald eagles, and yes, even Orcas (we saw 3 in one visit).
Unless you arrive early, parking can be limited, so plan on parking at one of the paid lots and walking to the harbor. It's a nice walk and lots to see and do. If you book a tour with Kenai Fjords Tours, they will shuttle you from their parking lot for free.
