Today’s Paddling Forecast: 83°F High with Afternoon Storm Chances

Little Assawoman Bay is serving up prime summer paddling conditions today with temperatures ranging from a comfortable 75°F at 7am to a peak of 83°F by mid-afternoon. We’re starting the day with gentle 5 mph south winds that will build into a steady 10 mph breeze—warm, humid, and mostly sunny with some afternoon drama possible.

Your Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM Breakdown

Here’s how your day shapes up on the water. Early birds launching at 7am will enjoy 75°F with partly sunny skies and calm 5 mph south winds—perfect for glassy conditions on the bay. By 9am, temps climb to 79°F and winds pick up to 10 mph, adding a bit more texture to the water. The sweet spot is clearly that 7am-10am window before the storm chances roll in. Starting at 11am and lasting through 3pm, there’s a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms, so keep your eyes on the sky. The good news? Conditions clear beautifully by 4pm, returning to sunny skies at 82°F with those consistent 10 mph south winds holding steady through 7pm.

Through the Day: Morning Glory to Afternoon Uncertainty

Early morning paddlers (7am-9am) get the best deal: rising temps from 75°F to 79°F, humidity around 85-90%, and gentle 5 mph winds building to 10 mph. Midday gets tricky—from 11am through 3pm, that slight chance of thunderstorms hovers while temps peak at 82-83°F. If you’re out and hear thunder, get off the water immediately. Late afternoon rebounds nicely: 4pm onward sees sunny to partly cloudy conditions, 81-82°F, with consistent 10 mph south winds that create ideal conditions for a sunset paddle on Little Assawoman Bay.
