Today at Fenwick Island State Park, we’re looking at a beautiful Mostly Sunny day with temperatures climbing from a comfortable 74°F at dawn to a high of 81°F by midday. The morning starts with gentle 5 mph northeast winds and humidity running high at 97%, so expect that classic coastal dewiness as you launch onto Little Assawoman Bay.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM

The hourly breakdown reveals a day that builds steadily and holds strong. Temperatures climb from 74°F at 7am through 78°F by 9am, hitting peak warmth of 81°F around noon. Winds start calm at 5 mph NE during the early hours, then pick up to 10 mph by 11am and hold steady through the afternoon. The sweet spot for kayak rental at Fenwick Island State Park is arguably that 7am-10am window when winds remain at 5 mph and temps are still pleasant in the upper 70s. That said, even the midday 10 mph winds are absolutely manageable for most paddlers on the protected waters of Little Assawoman Bay.

Through the Day

Early birds launching at 7am will enjoy 74°F temps, mostly sunny skies, and those whisper-light 5 mph northeast winds—ideal for mirror-calm paddling. By late morning around 11am, expect the wind to double to 10 mph and temps to hit 80°F. The afternoon holds steady with 80°F temperatures and consistent 10 mph easterly winds from 2pm through 5pm, creating a light chop that’s actually refreshing on a warm day. Evening paddlers returning around 6-7pm will find winds dropping back to 5 mph as temps settle to a pleasant 78°F.

Why Today Works

This is an excellent day for paddlers of all skill levels. Beginners will appreciate the 5 mph morning calm, while intermediate paddlers can enjoy the light 10 mph afternoon breeze without any struggle. The consistent conditions and warm temperatures make this one of those days where things to do in Delaware should definitely include getting on the water.
