Little Assawoman Bay is serving up classic summer paddling conditions today with a high of 81°F and a morning low of 73°F. We’re looking at partly sunny to sunny skies throughout the paddling window, with southwest winds starting at 10 mph and building as the day progresses.

Paddling Window: 7AM to 7PM

Here’s the breakdown for your day on the water. Early birds launching at 7am will find 73°F with 10 mph southwest winds and 90% humidity—a bit muggy but manageable. Temperatures climb steadily through the morning, hitting 77°F by 9am and breaking into the low 80s by 11am. The real shift happens midday when winds pick up to 15 mph from the south and hold steady through mid-afternoon. Your best window for calmer water? Get out between 7am and 10am before those southerly winds build. If you prefer warmer conditions and don’t mind working a bit harder, the 11am to 4pm stretch offers consistent 81°F temps with that steady 15 mph breeze.

Through the Day

Morning paddlers from 7am to 10am will enjoy the calmest conditions with winds at 10 mph and temperatures rising from 73°F to 79°F. The midday stretch from 11am through 4pm locks in at 81°F with 15 mph south winds creating some chop on the bay—great for an energetic paddle but requiring more effort. Late afternoon brings a notable jump at 5pm when winds spike to 20 mph, the strongest of the day, before settling back to 15 mph by 6pm as temps ease to 79°F. The evening hours from 6pm to 7pm offer mostly clear skies and 78-79°F temperatures for a pleasant sunset paddle.

Why Today Works

This is an excellent day for experienced paddlers who want a workout and don’t shy away from wind. That 14 mph average wind speed means beginners should stick to the protected coves or come early morning when conditions are gentler at 10 mph. Intermediate paddlers looking for things to do in Delaware will find today’s conditions challenging but rewarding.
