Fenwick Island State Park — Sunny, 63°F

Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up in February wearing spring’s clothing. Today at Fenwick Island State Park, we’re looking at a high of 63°F under gloriously sunny skies, climbing up from a crisp 52°F at dawn. The wind is blowing from the north at 10 mph this morning, which is February’s way of reminding you that you still need a jacket, you optimistic fool.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM

Here’s your hourly breakdown for Little Assawoman Bay kayak adventures today. At 7am, you’re looking at 52°F with that steady 10 mph north wind—brisk but manageable. By 9am, we’ve climbed to a more respectable 58°F, and the real magic happens around 11am when we hit 63°F and stay there like a broken clock that’s accidentally right. The wind holds at 10 mph from 7am through 3pm, then drops to a gentler 5 mph for the late afternoon and evening hours. Your prime paddling window? Between 4pm and 6pm when you get the warmest temps combined with the calmest 5 mph winds. It’s almost like February is apologizing for existing.

Through the Day

Early birds at 7am will feel that 52°F reality check with humidity at 71%—basically, the bay will feel colder than your ex’s heart. By midday, things get genuinely pleasant: 63°F, sunny, humidity dropping to a comfortable 41%, though you’ll still be working against that 10 mph northerly. Late afternoon from 4pm onward is when this day truly shines. The wind calms to 5 mph and shifts slightly northwest by 6pm, the sun stays out, and you’ve got 63°F perfection. By 7pm, we’re cooling to 61°F but still clear and calm.

Why Today Works

This is a day for paddlers who’ve been staring at their kayaks in the garage since November, weeping softly. If you can handle a morning with 10 mph winds and temps in the low 50s, or prefer to wait for that silky smooth 5 mph afternoon session, this February anomaly is your ticket. Paddleboard rental Delaware enthusiasts should definitely aim for the 4pm-6pm window when the water will be at its glassiest.
