Spring brings mid-50s mornings and low-to-mid 60s afternoons with migratory birds, whale sightings, and blooming dune plants like sand verbena. Fog often burns off by midday. Summer warms to the low 70s but crowds peak. Winter delivers Pacific storms and cooler temperatures. Coastal fog rolls in year-round, and the microclimate shifts quickly. Pack layers even in warm months. Spring offers the best balance of mild conditions, active wildlife, and moderate crowds.
Spring brings sand verbena blooms, migratory birds and positive reviewer comments about views.
