Downtown Los Angeles started Saturday, June 13 under a patchy blanket of fog, with temperatures sitting in the mid-60s and that familiar gray glow. The marine layer is expected to thin by late morning, letting inland neighborhoods warm into the low 80s and setting up a mostly sunny afternoon with light southwest breezes and highs near 82°F. Drivers heading in from the coast should be ready for reduced visibility along coastal approaches during the morning commute.
Foggy Mornings, Sunny Afternoons
Patchy fog is likely before about 11 a.m., then skies should clear enough for most spots to reach the low 80s on Saturday, June 13, with overnight lows near 63°F. Winds will be light, about 0 to 10 mph from the southwest, so it should feel calm at street level even as beaches and canyons deal with the usual marine-layer shuffle. A Beach Hazard Statement is in effect Saturday morning, June 13 through Monday evening, June 15, with forecasters calling for 3 to 6 ft surf on south-facing beaches and evening tides near 7.5 ft Saturday, June 13 through Tuesday, June 16, according to National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard.
Beach Hazards And Safety
If you are heading to the sand over the weekend, expect elevated surf, strong rip currents and the chance of sneaker waves that can sweep across rocks and jetties without much warning. Our earlier coverage flagged the same hazard and offered practical tips for beachgoers and boaters; see fog, high surf and gloomy commutes for background.
Plan Your Day
Commuters should build in extra time for morning trips along coastal approaches and through canyon neighborhoods while the fog hangs around. For beach plans, the safer bet is mid- to late-afternoon, when the marine layer typically lifts and visibility improves, although surf hazards will remain. Boaters should be ready for choppy nearshore seas and possible afternoon gusts. Before heading out, check the latest forecasts and surf advisories from the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard.
