Downtown Los Angeles rolled out of bed under a low lid of coastal clouds and patchy fog on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, with cool, muggy morning temps in the upper 50s to around 63°F and afternoon highs headed for the mid-70s. The marine layer is expected to thin by late morning, giving way to partly sunny skies and light south-southwest breezes across most neighborhoods.
Foggy Mornings, Sunny Afternoons
Patchy fog is likely to hang around through the late morning before breaking up into partly sunny conditions and a high near 76°F, with south-southwest winds generally running 0–10 mph this afternoon. Tonight is on track to be mostly cloudy with lows near 57°F and patchy fog redeveloping overnight. According to the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard, this keeps the familiar coastal-onshore pattern firmly in place.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Each afternoon, sea breezes will push inland, leaving beaches and coastal canyons noticeably breezier while inland spots sneak up a few degrees warmer. Forecasters are calling for a stronger northerly push Wednesday evening into the overnight hours that could bring advisory-level gusts to some coastal and mountain corridor locations, so it is a good idea to secure loose outdoor items before those afternoon winds spin up.
Marine Conditions To Watch
Out on the water, this week’s offshore forecast deserves attention: Small Craft Advisories are expected around the channel, and forecasters have flagged a chance of gale-force gusts by midweek. Seas are forecast to build to around 10–12 feet Wednesday night and could hang around into the weekend. We ran a related update yesterday that flagged the developing marine hazards; for full marine details and the latest watches and advisories, see our earlier briefing and official forecasts from the National Weather Service.
Bottom line: bring a light jacket for the cool, gray beach mornings, plan on some sun by the afternoon, and if you are heading out on the water, check both inland and offshore conditions before you go. Keep an eye on updates from the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard and local harbormasters if your plans depend on calmer seas.
