Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Ladera, CA

SHORT TERM
Issued at 1226 PM PDT Sun Oct 25 2026 (This evening through Monday night)

High cloud cover is streaming in from the west/northwest in advance of an approaching frontal system (largely expected to remain north of the region). As such, temperatures this afternoon will peak in the mid to upper-60s near the coast and low to mid-70s for inland areas away from the immediate coast and the interior.

Tonight and into Monday morning, expecting the aforementioned frontal boundary to push inland over northern California brining a slight chance for very light rain to the northern offshore waters and the Sonoma County coastline. Temperatures are forecast to cool into the lower 40s across the North Bay Valleys and far southern portions of the Salinas Valley Monday morning with the rest of the region expecting upper 40s to low 50s.

Temperatures cool some 5-10 degrees on Monday as a cooler air mass spreads southward across the region in response to the mid/upper level low pushing into the Pacific Northwest.

LONG TERM
Issued at 1226 PM PDT Sun Oct 25 2026 (Tuesday through next Saturday)

Below normal temperatures are forecast to persist through midweek as the region with zonal flow to troughing persisting over the West Coast. However, dry conditions are forecast to prevail through midweek. It isn't until Friday and the upcoming weekend that we see rain chances return to the region as a cold front moves through Friday and into Saturday. There is low to moderate confidence of this occurring. However, there is still time for things to change so don't cancel your tick-or-treating plans yet!

Again, the most pressing threat this week will be minor to moderate coastal flooding along bayshore locations of the San Pablo, San Francisco, and Monterey Bays. The Pacific Coast gets added to the Coastal Flood advisory beginning Monday as we are expecting up to 1.9 feet of inundation above ground level. This is due to thermal expansion of the warm waters generated by El Nino and astronomical high tides through much of the upcoming work week.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 543 PM PDT Sun Oct 25 2026

It's VFR across the forecast area. Winds are onshore with the SFO-SAC pressure gradient most recently 0.5 mb. High clouds are moving across the area and will likely clear out after midnight.
So far there's not much in the way of low clouds over the coastal waters and along the coastline. After the high clouds move to our east tonight, radiative cooling will strengthen and combine with surface to lower level convergence out ahead of a cool front moving in from the northwest, the front arrives Monday.

Moderate to high confidence VFR continues through the evening. It's a complex ceiling forecast for tonight and Monday morning, but the potential is there for low clouds /MVFR-IFR/ later tonight and Monday morning. KSJC and KLVK 00z TAFs currently advertise no low clouds developing; a challenging forecast, it's unknown how much low cloud development there may or may not be, and how far inland low clouds may reach. Greater confidence it'll be mainly VFR across the forecast area late Monday morning and afternoon.

Vicinity of SFO...VFR with a west wind diminishing through evening. Low confidence forecast for tempo low clouds /MVFR/ 08z-12z then prevailing to 21z Monday. West wind increasing to 15 to 25 knots Monday afternoon to mid evening.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...VFR with west to northwest winds 10 to 15 knots with a few gusts to 20 knots in the early evening. Low clouds /MVFR/ developing tonight and Monday morning ahead of a cool front arriving from the northwest on Monday. VFR is forecast late morning and afternoon Monday. Winds becoming light and variable tonight and Monday morning, then west to northwest 10 knots late Monday morning and afternoon.

MARINE

Gentle north to northwest breezes will become moderate to fresh early this week. Strong gusts increase across the southern coastal waters near Point Sur and Monterey Bay by Monday afternoon, with some isolated near gale force gusts. Moderate seas of 4 to 5 ft continue for offshore waters, but will build to 6 to 8 ft seas Monday into Tuesday. Slight seas of 2 to 4 ft hold the immediate coastline and build to moderate 4 to 6 ft for Monday.
