Today at Fenwick Island State Park, we’re looking at a high of 77°F under partly sunny skies, with temperatures starting at a pleasant 73°F when we open. East winds are holding steady at 10 mph this morning, making for manageable conditions on Little Assawoman Bay.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM

Here’s how your day breaks down: temperatures rise gradually from 73°F at 7am to 77°F by 11am, where they’ll plateau through mid-afternoon. The wind story is what you need to watch—we’re starting with 10 mph winds from the east, but they bump up to 15 mph between 11am and noon before settling back down to 10 mph from 1pm onward. That midday wind increase means you’ll want to either get out early (before 11am) or wait until afternoon when conditions mellow. The sweet spot for kayak rental at Fenwick Island State Park is clearly either 9-11am or 1-4pm.

Through the Day

Early morning paddlers from 7-10am will enjoy temperatures climbing from 73°F to 76°F with consistent 10 mph easterly winds and partly sunny skies. The midday hours see those winds kick up to 15 mph—still very manageable for experienced paddlers, but beginners might find Little Assawoman Bay a bit choppy. By afternoon, around 3pm, clouds start rolling in and that mostly cloudy cover dominates through the end of the day. Temperatures hold at 76-77°F with 10 mph southeast winds making for pleasant paddleboard rental conditions on Delaware’s beautiful coastal waters.

Why Today Works

This is an excellent day for intermediate paddlers who can handle 10-15 mph winds without issue. Beginners should stick to morning or early afternoon when those 10 mph winds are steadiest. With humidity ranging from 71-87% throughout the day, you’ll want water nearby anyway—might as well be on it.
