Welcome to February at Little Assawoman Bay, where today’s high of 65°F and low of 57°F might sound almost pleasant until you factor in the persistent rain showers and 15 mph winds that make this feel less like paddling and more like an impromptu survival exercise. The bay is ready to embrace you—whether you want to be embraced or not.

The Paddling Window: 7AM to 7PM Breakdown

Let’s walk through this masterpiece of meteorological misery. At 7am, you’ll greet the day at 57°F with chance rain showers and 15 mph NW winds already doing their best to discourage you. By 8am, those rain showers become “likely,” which is weather forecaster speak for “you will get wet.” Temperatures crawl from 57°F at dawn to 62°F by mid-morning, eventually peaking at a balmy 65°F around 5pm. The humidity sits at a suffocating 100% through the morning hours, only dropping to a luxurious 93% by afternoon. If you’re looking for the best sub-window, I’d suggest 5pm to 6pm when conditions downgrade from “rain showers likely” to merely “chance rain showers”—an upgrade that feels like finding a slightly drier spot under a waterfall.

Through the Day: A Soggy Progression

Early morning paddlers launching for kayak rental Fenwick Island State Park at 9am will face 61°F, rain showers likely, and that steady 15 mph westerly wind pushing across the bay. Midday brings temperatures hovering at 62-63°F with no relief from the rain probability. Here’s the fun part: at 3pm, winds spike to 20 mph, because apparently the weather gods decided you weren’t having enough fun. By late afternoon (4pm-7pm), winds settle back to 15 mph as temperatures peak and then begin their retreat from 65°F back down to 63°F.

Why Today Works (For Certain People)

Today’s paddleboard rental Delaware experience is ideal for exactly two types of people: those training for hypothetical monsoon paddling competitions, and those who genuinely enjoy returning to shore looking like a drowned raccoon. With sustained 15 mph winds and near-certain rain, this is a day for experienced paddlers with proper rain gear, a waterproof sense of humor, and the wisdom to stay close to shore. Little Assawoman Bay kayak conditions are challenging but not impossible—just deeply, profoundly damp.
