Current Conditions at Lake Arbutus

This morning at East Lake Arbutus, we’re seeing mainly clear skies with rain expected later. The temperature sits at 69°F but feels like 73°F thanks to 89% humidity. Wind is light at 5 mph from the southwest with zero current precipitation, though the daily total shows 19.9 mm has already fallen.

Your Paddling Window: 7AM to 7PM

With sunrise at 6:17 AM, you’ll have full daylight right at the 7 AM start of your paddling window. Early morning offers the calmest conditions with that light 5 mph southwest wind. The daily precipitation total of 19.9 mm tells us rain has already visited, and with more expected, conditions could shift during your time on the water. Given the current clear skies, your best sub-window is likely the morning hours before any afternoon weather development. With sunset not until 9:47 PM, you have a full 12 hours of potential paddle time within our 7 AM to 7 PM window.

Through the Day

Temperatures will climb to a high of 76°F, with the morning low of 60°F already behind us. Wind could pick up to a maximum of 16 mph throughout the day, so expect choppier conditions as afternoon progresses compared to that calm 5 mph you’ll experience early. That 89% humidity will make the air feel thick and heavy.
