Happy December, brave souls! Today at Little Assawoman Bay, Mother Nature has wrapped us a damp little gift with a high of 65°F and a low of 62°F—practically tropical for this time of year, except for the whole ‘rain showers likely’ situation and those persistent 15 mph northerly winds that’ll make sure you earn every paddle stroke.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM Analysis

Let’s break down this soggy spectacle. From 7am through 10am, you’re looking at 62-63°F with rain showers likely and 15 mph winds blowing from the north—essentially the Bay saying ‘stay home and drink coffee.’ By 11am, conditions shift ever so slightly to ‘chance rain showers’ which meteorologists use when they want to sound optimistic while still covering themselves. The temperature crawls from 62°F at dawn to a scorching 65°F peak around 4pm, then settles back to 64°F. If you’re determined to paddle, your best sub-window is 4pm-7pm when rain chances drop to ‘slight’ and 7pm brings mostly cloudy skies with no rain expected.

Through the Day

Early morning paddlers from 7-10am face the worst of it: 62°F, 90% humidity, rain showers likely, and 15 mph north winds pushing directly down the Bay. Midday from 11am-3pm offers marginally better odds with the rain downgrading to ‘chance’ status, though those 15 mph winds shift to the northeast and remain absolutely constant. Late afternoon from 4-7pm is your golden hour—if you can call anything golden when humidity sits at 84-87%. The wind maintains its 15 mph northeast commitment all day long because consistency is apparently this storm system’s love language.

Who Should Paddle Today

This is a day for the slightly unhinged paddler who owns quality rain gear and considers 15 mph winds ‘character building.’ If you’re looking for kayak rental Fenwick Island State Park or paddleboard rental Delaware experiences that involve getting thoroughly damp, congratulations—today is your moment. Fair-weather paddlers should absolutely sit this one out.
