Happy February, you magnificent gluttons for punishment! Today at Fenwick Island State Park, we’re serving up a high of 63°F and a low of 59°F with a side of relentless drizzle and winds that genuinely want to fight you. The forecast is screaming “Light Rain Likely” and those 30 mph north winds are screaming even louder.

The Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM (Or As We Call It, The Twelve Hours of Regret)

Let’s break down this masterpiece of meteorological misery. At 7am, you’ll launch into 59°F air with 30 mph north winds already howling across Little Assawoman Bay. By 9am, the “Light Rain Likely” upgrades to a firm commitment of “Light Rain” as temps nudge to 60°F. The good news? Temperatures crawl upward to peak at 63°F between 1pm and 4pm. The bad news? Those 30 mph winds maintain their fury all day like a scorned ex. If there’s a “best” window, it’s between 1pm and 3pm when you’ll enjoy that 63°F peak, though “enjoy” is doing heavy lifting here. The winds finally ease to 25 mph by 7pm, just in time for you to be home drying off.

Through the Day: A Journey of Sustained Dampness

Early morning paddlers at 7am face 59°F temps with that brutal 30 mph north wind creating genuine whitecap potential on Little Assawoman Bay. By midday, you’ve graduated to 61-62°F with identical wind conditions—congratulations on your lateral move. Late afternoon between 4pm and 6pm holds steady at 62-63°F with humidity climbing back to 84-87%, ensuring you’re wet from every possible direction. Throughout it all, that north wind maintains its 30 mph assault until the final hour when it graciously drops to 25 mph.
