Today at Fenwick Island State Park, we’re looking at a high of 82°F under partly sunny to sunny skies, with temperatures starting at a pleasant 66°F at 7am. Winds begin gentle at 5 mph from the southwest, making for an inviting start to what shapes up as an excellent summer paddle day on Little Assawoman Bay.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM

The hourly breakdown tells a story of steadily improving conditions through the morning. At 7am, expect 66°F with 97% humidity—that classic dewy bay morning feel—but by 9am, temperatures climb to 74°F and humidity drops to a more comfortable 82%. The wind picks up from 5 mph early morning to 10 mph by 9am and holds steady through noon. Here’s the key transition: at 1pm, winds shift to the south and increase to 15 mph, where they remain through 7pm. Your smoothest water window? Get out between 7am and noon before that afternoon wind builds. Experienced paddlers will find the afternoon’s 15 mph southerly winds manageable but definitely present.

Through the Day

Early birds launching at 7am get mirror-calm conditions at 66°F with just 5 mph of breeze. By 10am, you’re paddling in 78°F sunshine with 10 mph winds—ideal kayaking weather. The midday peak hits 81-82°F from noon to 4pm, with that sustained 15 mph south wind creating light chop on Little Assawoman Bay. Late afternoon from 5pm to 7pm sees temperatures ease to 78-80°F, but winds hold firm at 15 mph, so don’t expect a calm evening float.

Why Today Works

This is a day for everyone willing to pick their window wisely. Beginners and families should prioritize the 9am-noon sweet spot before winds build to 15 mph. Stronger paddlers and those looking for a workout will appreciate the afternoon’s 15 mph breeze—it keeps you cool in the 82°F heat and adds some challenge to your paddleboard rental Delaware adventure.
