Little Assawoman Bay is serving up a textbook summer day with temperatures climbing from 74°F in the early morning to a toasty 89°F by mid-afternoon. Winds start gentle at 5 mph from the south, and conditions are primed for paddling if you plan your timing right.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM

The hourly breakdown tells an interesting story today. Morning paddlers launching at 7am will find 74°F with 5 mph southerly winds and 100% humidity—expect that thick, dewy air that clings to everything. By 9am, temps jump to 79°F and humidity drops to 91%, making conditions noticeably more comfortable. The sweet spot? That 9am to noon window when temperatures range from 79°F to 87°F and winds remain a manageable 5 mph. Once 1pm hits, winds double to 10 mph from the south and hold steady through 4pm. If you prefer glassy water, get out early. If you want a workout, the afternoon chop awaits.

Through the Day

Early morning from 7am-10am offers the calmest conditions with 5 mph winds and temperatures building from 74°F to 82°F. The midday stretch from 11am-4pm is where things heat up—literally reaching 88-89°F with that 10 mph southerly wind creating more surface texture on the bay. Late afternoon from 5pm-7pm sees winds ease back to 5 mph as temperatures slowly retreat from 89°F to 86°F with increasing cloud cover. Paddleboard rental Delaware enthusiasts take note: morning is your friend for stability.

Why Today Works

This is a day for experienced paddlers who don’t mind heat and humidity, or early birds who want to beat both. The 10 mph afternoon winds are totally manageable but will test newer paddlers on stand-up boards.
