Downtown Los Angeles rolled into Tuesday, June 16, 2026, in the low 60s under a thick marine layer, with an afternoon high still on track to reach about 80°F. Patchy fog is most likely before 11 a.m., then expected to creep back in after dark, with overnight lows hovering near 62°F.
Morning Fog, Sunny Afternoons
That gray blanket is set to hang around through the morning commute before burning off into mostly sunny skies. South‑southwest winds should stay on the tame side, roughly 0–10 mph. Inland spots will heat up faster than the coast, so expect a classic beach-versus-basin split by midday. Those timing and temperature details come from the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard.
Coastal Hazards And Tides
A Beach Hazard Statement stays in effect through late Wednesday night (June 17), and a Coastal Flood Advisory is posted until 2 a.m. Wednesday (June 17) for parts of the coast. South‑facing beaches are looking at 3–6 ft surf, paired with evening high tides around 7.2–7.7 ft. That combo raises the odds of sneaker waves and minor to locally moderate coastal flooding near Malibu and Long Beach, so stay off rocks and jetties and listen to lifeguards. For background, see our earlier rough-surf coverage.
Late‑Week Cool Down
Forecasters expect the marine layer to deepen Thursday into the weekend, setting up a sharper cool down by Thursday and Friday, with near‑shore highs sliding into the mid‑ to upper‑60s and more widespread morning low clouds. Friday and Saturday are shaping up as peak June‑Gloom days, with slower clearing and the potential for advisory‑level onshore gusts in some valleys. Forecast models hint at a warmer pattern returning by mid‑next week. Those trends are outlined by the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard.
What To Watch And How To Plan
Plan on extra time for morning coastal commutes while fog is in play, and avoid low‑lying shorelines during the evening high tides. Lifeguards and local closure notices remain your best on-the-spot safety guides. If you are aiming for beach time this week, target mid‑ to late‑afternoons when the marine layer usually peels back, and always double‑check conditions before you go. For the latest advisories and tide times, follow local lifeguards and the National Weather Service.
