Well folks, Little Assawoman Bay is serving up a toasty 69°F high today with a morning low of 61°F, and Mother Nature has decided to pair those pleasant temperatures with a side of chaos. We’re looking at slight chance rain showers, humidity hovering in the mid-70s, and—oh yes—a sustained 30 mph northeast wind that has absolutely no intention of taking a break.

The Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM Breakdown

Let’s be brutally honest here: that 30 mph NE wind is the headline act today, and it’s not budging. From 7am all the way through 7pm, you’re dealing with the same unrelenting 30 mph gusts that will turn any kayak rental at Fenwick Island State Park into an advanced workout session. Temperatures climb steadily from 61°F at 7am to a peak of 69°F around 4pm, which sounds lovely until you remember you’ll be fighting whitecaps the entire time. Rain chances persist through early afternoon, with conditions shifting from “Slight Chance Rain Showers” to “Chance Rain Showers” by 1pm, before clearing to mostly cloudy skies around 2pm. If there’s a “best” window, it’s probably 2pm-5pm when the rain threat diminishes—but that wind? Still 30 mph. Always 30 mph.

Through the Day

Early morning paddlers at 7am will greet 61°F temps and 84% humidity—expect to feel damp from both the air and the spray. By midday around noon, you’ve warmed to 68°F with humidity dropping to 73%, and the rain is still threatening. Late afternoon from 4pm-7pm settles into mostly cloudy to cloudy conditions at 67-69°F, with that steadfast 30 mph northeast wind ensuring Little Assawoman Bay remains choppy and challenging throughout. The wind progression? There isn’t one—it’s 30 mph at sunrise, 30 mph at sunset, and 30 mph for every hour in between.
