Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Camino Tassajara, CA

UPDATE
Issued at 502 PM PDT Fri May 1 2026

The forecast appears to be on track. High clouds are passing overhead, with stratus seeping into the coast due to the deepening marine layer. This looks to deepen this evening and overnight, perhaps to 1500 to 2000ft.

SHORT TERM
Issued at 125 PM PDT Fri May 1 2026 (This evening through Saturday)

We'll lose the influence of the upper ridging moving across our area this afternoon by sunset, with a pattern shift to persistent troughing through the weekend into the beginning of next week.
Stratus has mostly retreated back to the coastline with San Francisco and SF Peninsula lagging a little behind early this afternoon. Otherwise expect mostly sunny skies with a layer of thin cirrus for the remainder of the day. As an upper low continues tracking south offshore toward our latitude, we'll see the marine layer continue to gradually increase through the weekend. Stratus development tonight and its intrusion inland will be similar as what we saw last night into this morning. With the slight increase in the depth of the marine layer as well tonight, it should take a little longer to mix out Saturday, into the early afternoon for adjacent inland spots, and potentially linger most if not all day for immediate coastal areas. There is a chance of drizzle along the coast late tonight into Saturday morning with the best chances in higher elevated coastal ranges.

LONG TERM
Issued at 125 PM PDT Fri May 1 2026 (Saturday night through next Thursday)

The increased cloud clover inland and cooler temperatures will lead to a more notable drop in inland high temperatures this weekend, around 5 degrees from todays values on Saturday and another 5 on Sunday, with little change for coastal areas under the continuous influence of the marine layer. As the Rex Block begins to pivot inland, so too will the offshore upper low, beginning to take a more direct path inland on Sunday. The cooling trend will continue into the beginning of next week. By Monday and Tuesday, high temperatures will bottom out to between 5-10 degrees below normal as the system tracks inland into the desert southwest. Unfortunately, this system has continued to trend drier from already anemic moisture offered in guidance earlier this week. As mentioned above, there will be patches of drizzle at times mostly confined to the coast but with no impacts. Wednesday appears to be the beginning of an extended period of warm and dry weather under persistent ridging well beyond the current forecast period.
