San Diego woke up today to low coastal clouds and cool air, about 63°F at San Diego International Airport, with humid, gray skies hanging on through the morning. The marine layer is set to keep the coast muggy early, while inland neighborhoods climb into the low 70s by afternoon.
Afternoon Surf And Rip Currents
This afternoon should bring partly sunny skies, a high near 72°F, and light southwest winds. A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through tomorrow evening, warning that a south swell will push surf to roughly 3-5 feet with sets up to 6 feet and create a high rip current risk along area beaches. Swimmers are urged to stay near lifeguards and follow posted flags, according to the National Weather Service San Diego.
Juneteenth Weekend
Tomorrow, Juneteenth looks milder at the shore with highs near 71°F and onshore northwest breezes, although surf and strong longshore currents will still make ocean swimming hazardous.
Inland Outlook And Next Week
A weak low near the West Coast will keep the marine layer and cooler conditions near the shore through the weekend, while inland valleys trend warmer. Forecast discussions point to a warming pattern next week as high pressure builds, with inland highs possibly climbing into the 90s by midweek and an elevated heat risk developing for the desert and some inland neighborhoods; residents with outdoor plans are encouraged to monitor forecasts and plan around the hotter periods.
What To Know
If you head to the coast this weekend, stick to beaches with lifeguards, obey posted flags, and steer clear of piers, jetties and inlets where currents can turn dangerous fast. For inland activities, hydrate, seek shade during the warmest part of the day, and check updated local forecasts and lifeguard pages before you head out.
