Today at Fenwick Island State Park brings a high of 82°F under mostly sunny skies, with our morning low starting at a pleasant 65°F. Southwest winds are blowing steady at 15 mph from the start, so expect some resistance on Little Assawoman Bay right out of the gate.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM

The hourly breakdown tells a clear story: temperatures climb steadily from 65°F at 7am through 70°F by 9am, reaching the low 80s by early afternoon. Wind holds remarkably consistent at 15 mph SW from 7am all the way through 4pm—that’s ten straight hours of moderate headwind or crosswind depending on your route. The sweet spot arrives after 5pm when winds drop to 10 mph while temps remain comfortable in the upper 70s. If you want the smoothest water, aim for that 5pm-7pm window when conditions finally mellow out.

Through the Day

Early birds launching at 7am face 65°F temps with 97% humidity—you’ll feel that moisture in the air before the sun burns it off. By 10am, you’re looking at 74°F with winds still pushing at 15 mph SW, making southbound routes more challenging. The peak heat hits between 2pm and 4pm at 82°F, and while the sun is doing its thing, those 15 mph winds actually help keep you cool. After 5pm, the wind eases to 10 mph and clouds start rolling in, creating ideal late-afternoon paddling as temps drop to 77°F by 7pm.

Why Today Works

This is a day for experienced paddlers who don’t mind working against 15 mph winds or strategizing their route to use the southwest breeze to their advantage. Beginners should wait until after 5pm when winds drop to 10 mph, or consider this a good day to build some skills against moderate resistance.
