San Diego is starting Sunday clear and mild before a sharp warmup sends temperatures toward 88 degrees, while a coastal flood advisory and beach hazards statement keep the shoreline on alert. Around dawn, conditions at San Diego International Airport were clear with temperatures in the upper 50s, but coastal neighborhoods and valleys could approach 90 degrees by afternoon.
Sunny Heat Meets High Tides
Saturday's Santa Ana winds brought 25–35 mph gusts, with isolated gusts to 45 mph possible, before weakening Saturday afternoon and evening. Sunday will stay sunny as winds turn more easterly, with breezy conditions along San Diego and Riverside County coastal mountain slopes and passes, according to the National Weather Service San Diego. Monday reaches 86 degrees under similarly dry skies.
Along the coast, the Coastal Flood Advisory runs until noon Tuesday, with minor to locally moderate flooding possible in low-lying parking lots and roads. High tides arrive in the late morning Sunday and Monday, peaking at 7.4 to 7.6 feet, while west-facing beaches could see 3- to 7-foot surf and dangerous rip currents.
Beach Plans Need A Rethink
A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through Tuesday evening. The advisory calls for extra travel time where roads could be affected, and warns people not to drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.
Beachgoers should stay off sea walls and jetties and remain farther back from the water, where waves may run higher up the sand during high and rising tides. Anyone who enters the water should swim near a lifeguard while hazardous conditions persist.
Warm Week, Then A Cooler Turn
Monday through Wednesday stay sunny and unusually warm, with highs in the mid-80s and overnight lows around 64 to 66 degrees. Forecasts diverge for Thursday, with slight rain chances beginning late Friday and higher precipitation probabilities in San Diego County on Saturday, when highs ease into the mid-70s.
Rain chances are 20–30% in San Diego County Saturday. A gradual cooldown is possible, but the timing and amount of rain could still shift.
