West Coast Weather Sept-Oct

[TRAVELCRUZIN]

I typically cruise out of florida, however with it being hurricane season that is not an option this year. Does the west coast have a similar season? Or time of year you shouldn't cruise in case of weather issues? I very much want to take a west coast cruise down to mexico.

 

Thank You

Nope, CA to MX is mostly good all year around.  If you leave from San Francisco it can be a little foggy and cold sometimes.  But, Sept/Oct is probably one of the best times to visit and cruise from any port in CA.

We cruise (RCI) often from San Pedro during this time and weather is usually great.

windy, not cold winds, but warm ,sometimes very warm, strong winds.  In my area of Los Angeles, the winds can gust upto 60 mph during that time of year.  And of course that's the " fire season" in the local mountains.  Usually around Halloween, the weather turns to misty, sometimes rainy.

Is September and October warm enough to sit on cruise decks?

The OP was asking about a west coast cruise to Mexico, not Alaska.

 

OP:  Sept and Oct are great months on the west coast, and yes, plenty warm for deck sitting.

@julia  Thank you, my mistake. Another area to post this would be on the "Mexican Riviera" thread. Maybe they have...

There is definitely a hurricane season on the West Coast, just typically not as affecting of the cruise industry. And just like in Florida,  for hurricanes to exist, the air and water temps must be warm. It can be very warm in the Mexican Rivera in the fall months.

On a Mexico cruise it would be quite warm, maybe even hot, September to mid-October.

Typically yes and depending on how far south you cruise most definitely.

Thank you and we will be further in Vancouver moving south to San Diego.

1. We live in Long Beach, those are great months to sail out of the west coast ports. Will be warm and sunny all the time. Here we can get a marine layer in May (May gray) and June (June gloom) that can block the sun, still warm enought just not as much sun during those months.
