Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM Breakdown

The conditions throughout your paddling window today show a beautiful progression. At 7am, expect 56°F with calm 2 mph southeast winds—cool but incredibly peaceful water. By 10am, temperatures jump to 71°F as sunshine takes hold and winds pick up slightly to 5 mph from the south. The warmest stretch runs from 2pm through 5pm, holding steady at 80-81°F with winds reaching their peak at 7 mph. This is still remarkably gentle for Lake Arbutus kayak adventures.
