Today at Fenwick Island State Park is what paddling dreams are made of. We’re looking at a gorgeous sunny day with temperatures climbing from a cool 61°F at 7am to a warm 76°F by mid-afternoon. Early birds will start with dead calm conditions at 0 mph wind, which is about as perfect as it gets on Little Assawoman Bay.

Your Paddling Window: 7AM to 7PM

Let’s break down what you’re working with today. The morning hours from 7am through 10am feature absolutely zero wind—that’s 0 mph variable winds for those first four hours. This creates mirror-flat water conditions that are ideal for beginners or anyone wanting a serene paddle. By 11am, a light 5 mph easterly breeze kicks in and holds steady through mid-afternoon. The afternoon brings a slight uptick as winds shift south and increase to 10 mph from 4pm onward. Your absolute prime window? That 9am to 1pm stretch offers the best combination of warming temperatures (69°F to 75°F) with minimal wind interference.

Through the Day

Early morning paddlers launching at 7am will experience 61°F temps with 90% humidity—expect some dew on the docks and a slight chill on the water. By 10am you’re at a comfortable 71°F, and the humidity has already dropped to 68%. The midday stretch from noon to 3pm holds steady at 75-76°F with consistent 5 mph southeast winds creating just enough ripple to make things interesting without challenging your stroke. Late afternoon sees those 10 mph south winds arrive at 4pm, lasting through 7pm as temperatures ease back to 72°F.
