The weekend marks a sharp turn from the recent warmth, with cooler air settling over the city and the coast. Friday’s earlier outlook had already flagged the change, but the latest forecast puts the weekend highs firmly in the low-to-mid 60s.
Windy, Sunny Saturday

Sunday will be sunny and slightly warmer, topping out near 64 with lighter winds. Monday and Tuesday should reach about 67 degrees, while Wednesday may start with patchy fog before clearing.
Coastal Flooding And Rough Surf Continue
The more serious weather concern is along the shoreline. According to the National Weather Service, a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect through Tuesday afternoon, with up to 1.4 feet of water possible above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
A Beach Hazards Statement runs through Monday afternoon, with strong rip currents, sneaker waves and breaking waves up to 16 feet expected along Pacific beaches. High tides could also push water farther up beaches, so officials are urging people to stay off jetties, piers and rocks, remain out of the water and never turn their back on the ocean.
