Welcome to February paddling on Little Assawoman Bay, where today’s high of 55°F and low of 53°F means you’ll experience a thrilling two-degree temperature swing while being pelted by rain and blasted by 20 mph north winds. This is Delaware coastal kayaking at its most character-building, folks.

Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM Reality Check

Let’s walk through this masterpiece of meteorological misery together. From 7am through 11am, you’re looking at continuous rain showers with temperatures hovering at a steady 53°F and humidity pushing into the low 90s. The 20 mph north wind will be there for you the entire time, unwavering in its commitment to making your paddle strokes feel heroic. By noon, the rain becomes merely “likely” rather than certain—a subtle improvement that only true optimists will appreciate. The afternoon hours from 2pm onward offer the day’s best window, as rain chances drop to “slight” and finally disappear by 4pm. If you’re determined to paddle today, the 4pm-6pm cloudy stretch is your golden opportunity.

Through the Day: Morning Misery to Afternoon Mediocrity

Early morning paddlers at 7am face 55°F temperatures dropping to 53°F by 8am, because nothing says “good morning” like a temperature decrease. That 20 mph north wind remains absolutely constant throughout the entire day—no gusts, no calm spells, just twelve straight hours of consistent 20 mph northern fury pushing down Little Assawoman Bay. Humidity finally breaks below 70% around 2pm when temps edge back up to 54-55°F. By evening, you’ll enjoy mostly cloudy skies at 53°F, still with that faithful 20 mph wind keeping you company.

Who Should Actually Come Today

This is a day for experienced paddlers with quality rain gear, a dark sense of humor, and perhaps questionable decision-making skills. With 20 mph north winds all day, beginners will find themselves making excellent progress south while questioning every life choice that led them here. This is not a casual “things to do Delaware” day—this is a test of character.
