Cabrillo National Monument - Climate

Cabrillo National Monument by National Parks Service

The San Diego coastline generally offers a sunny and mild climate year-round. The ocean, however, can have a strong influence on weather conditions. Visitors should be prepared for cool and windy conditions, even if it is hot and dry further inland. A gray-marine layer can develop near the coast at any time of year, but this phenomenon is most common in the late spring and early summer. Locals call these times "May Gray" and "June Gloom."
