Today at East Lake Arbutus, we’re looking at a gorgeous spread from a cool 47°F morning low to a pleasant 69°F high—basically the kind of day Wisconsin paddlers dream about. Early risers will encounter patchy fog and gentle 3 mph easterly winds, setting the stage for a beautifully evolving day on the water.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM Breakdown

The morning kicks off at 7am with 47°F and that signature patchy fog, with winds barely registering at 3 mph from the east. By 9am, you’ll see temps climb to 53°F as the fog burns off into partly sunny skies, with winds picking up slightly to 5 mph SE. The sweet spot hits between 2pm and 4pm when temperatures peak at 67-69°F and winds hold steady at 6-7 mph SE—manageable for all skill levels. Humidity drops dramatically from a soupy 96% at dawn to a comfortable 44% by late afternoon. If you’re looking for the absolute best window, aim for that 3pm-5pm stretch when conditions are warmest with light 6 mph breezes.

Through the Day

Early birds launching at 7am will paddle through mystical fog at 47°F—pack a layer and enjoy the atmospheric vibes with barely-there 3 mph winds. By 11am, you’re looking at 62°F with winds building to 7 mph SE, creating just enough ripple to keep things interesting without challenging your stroke. The late afternoon from 5pm-7pm sees temperatures ease back to the mid-60s (67°F dropping to 63°F), with winds calming to 5 mph then 3 mph as the day winds down—ideal for a peaceful sunset paddle on Lake Arbutus.
