Today at Fenwick Island State Park, we’re looking at a high of 84°F with a morning low of 72°F under partly sunny skies. Little Assawoman Bay is greeting us with gentle 5 mph southwest winds at dawn and near-perfect conditions for paddling Delaware’s beautiful coastal waters.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM

The morning kicks off at 72°F with 100% humidity at 7am—expect that thick, dewy air that tells you it’s peak summer at the shore. Temperatures climb steadily from 72°F at dawn to 81°F by 10am, then peak at 84°F around noon and again at 2pm and 4pm. Winds remain remarkably consistent at 5 mph throughout the entire day, shifting from southwest in the morning to northwest by 11am, then settling into a southeast flow from noon onward. Your best window? The morning hours from 9am to noon offer the optimal combination: warming temperatures, dropping humidity (from 90% to 70%), and mostly sunny skies before any storm activity enters the picture.

Through the Day

Early morning paddlers launching at 7am will find 72°F air with that characteristic coastal mugginess and 5 mph southwest winds barely rippling the bay’s surface. By midday, you’re looking at 83-84°F with humidity dropping to a more comfortable 70-72% and winds holding steady at 5 mph from the southeast. The afternoon is where things get interesting—starting at 2pm, there’s a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms that escalates to a full chance by 4pm at 84°F. Late afternoon from 5pm onward sees temperatures ease back to 81-82°F with that storm threat lingering through 7pm.
