Welcome to today’s forecast for Fenwick Island State Park, where Mother Nature has decided to turn Little Assawoman Bay into her personal shower demonstration. We’re looking at temperatures ranging from a low of 64°F at dawn to a balmy high of 71°F later this afternoon, with easterly winds already blowing at 15 mph first thing this morning. Spoiler alert: you’re going to get wet.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM Reality Check

Let’s be brutally honest about your paddling window today. Conditions start with rain likely at 7am and 64°F, quickly transitioning to straight-up rain by 8am. By 9am, winds intensify to 20 mph from the east, and they’ll hold steady at that 20 mph mark through 3pm. The midday hours from noon to 1pm bring heavy rain with 100% humidity—essentially paddling through warm soup. If you’re searching for the best sub-window, it technically arrives after 4pm when winds drop back to 15 mph, but don’t get excited—you’ll still be dealing with rain and potential thunderstorms by 6pm. There is no dry window today. Period.

Through the Day: A Wet Journey

Early morning paddlers at 7am face 64°F with 15 mph easterly winds and rain likely conditions. By 10am, you’re looking at 67°F with full rain and winds holding at 20 mph—creating choppy conditions on Little Assawoman Bay that will challenge novice paddlers. The afternoon progression shows temperatures climbing to 69°F by 2pm, then reaching today’s peak of 71°F around 5pm. Late afternoon brings a wind shift to the south at 15 mph, but also introduces the chance of showers and thunderstorms from 6pm onward. That 18 mph average wind throughout the day means consistent chop across the bay.
