Weather in Sept/Oct

We have never cruised the California coast before. Only up as far as San Diego where a Panama Canal crossing ended. We will be going from Ensenada to San Francisco. Just wondering what to expect temperature wise. We will leave 9/22 and be on ship till 10/15. Trying to plan what to take for thru the day on ship and in port. Thanks to those experienced with this time of the year there!!:

It will be cool at sea- most likely 50s, maybe some 60s off Southern California. An off shore pattern could influence this, bringing the temps up some.

September can be the best time in places like SF, and that can extend into October. You might see an occasional 80 ashore. 70s are more likely. But every day into October does increase the possibility of rain the further north you go. Not huge chances, but slowly increasing.

You are on the ship off the California coast for over 20 days? A very slow cruise!!

In San Francisco mid-Sept to mid-October is generally our warmest time of the year, but then for a lot of natives anything over 72 is roasting hot ;)

Looks like your sailing in afterwards, but Fleet Week2016 is Oct 3-10. That's when the Navy sails in for the week :)

Thanks for the weather info! Not a slow cruise, 4, 4 day B2B followed by a 7 day. Just sailing back and forth on the west coast. Getting our Elite and then just hanging out since we are already there. We needed 3 to be Elite so we will get to try it out the last 2 cruises.

Within SF proper, September to mid-November is our best weather of the year. Very little fog or wind (which we get in the summer months), and low chance of rain. Could be very warm, but most likely will be just comfortable.
