San Diego Beach: Weather Today

📅 Monday, September 14, 2026
Today at San Diego Beach is not ideal for those looking to spend a long afternoon under the sun. You should expect light, persistent drizzle throughout the day, which will likely keep things damp and make traditional sunbathing quite difficult. While the air temperature will reach 29.8 °C and the water remains pleasant at 28.6 °C, the frequent rain showers suggest you might want to skip your beach plans today. If you do head out, be mindful that the UV Index is quite high at 8.8, so protection is essential even through the clouds. Winds are relatively light, keeping the water calm with minimal waves, but the unpredictable weather makes for a rather lackluster beach experience. It is best to wait for a day with clearer skies to fully enjoy the coast.
