Happy February, brave souls! Today at Fenwick Island State Park we’re looking at a high of 58°F and a low of 49°F under gloriously sunny skies. Sounds delightful, right? Well, hold onto your paddles—and your hats, your sunglasses, and possibly your dignity—because those 20 mph northeast winds are here to remind you that winter isn’t done with you yet.

The Paddling Window: 7AM-7PM Reality Check

Let’s break down what Little Assawoman Bay has in store for you today. At 7am, you’ll greet the morning at a brisk 49°F with 20 mph winds already blowing strong from the north. By 9am, the wind shifts northeast and temperatures climb to 53°F, but that 20 mph wind isn’t budging—it’s committed to this relationship. The mercury crawls upward throughout the morning, hitting 56°F by 11am and peaking at a balmy 58°F around 3pm. After that, temperatures slowly retreat to 55°F by 7pm. If you’re hunting for a “best” window, aim for 1pm to 4pm when you’ll enjoy peak temperatures between 57-58°F. Just know that 20 mph winds will be your constant companion the entire day.

Through the Day: A Wind-Blown Journey

Early morning paddlers launching at 7am will face 49°F temperatures and that relentless 20 mph northerly wind—perfect for building character and questioning your life choices. By midday, you’ve warmed up to 56-57°F, and the humidity drops from 71% to around 62%, making the sunshine feel genuinely pleasant on your face. Late afternoon from 4pm onward sees temperatures holding steady at 57°F before dipping slightly, while those 20 mph northeast winds remain utterly unchanged, like a stubborn relative who won’t leave after the holidays.

Why Today Works (For Some of You)

Let’s be brutally honest: today is for experienced paddlers who laugh in the face of 20 mph winds and consider a good arm workout part of the fun. Kayakers will fare better than paddleboarders—standing upright on a SUP in these conditions is an invitation for an unplanned swim. If you’re looking for things to do in Delaware that involve genuine physical challenge and wind-induced tears, congratulations, you’ve found it.
