Point Reyes National Seashore Weather
Park • San Francisco Bay Area
Point Reyes National Seashore covers most of the Point Reyes Peninsula, the wedge of West Marin set apart by Tomales Bay and the Olema Valley. The National Park Service manages its ocean beaches, the Point Reyes Headlands, tule elk grasslands, and the forested spine of Inverness Ridge. The Bear Valley Visitor Center is the main gateway. Inverness Ridge is what sets it apart. On either side of it, one park holds sheltered, sunny bayside picnic spots and some of the windiest, foggiest headlands on the Pacific Coast, a short drive apart.

What shapes Point Reyes National Seashore's weather
Point Reyes fog forms just offshore, where warm, moist air moving over the cold coastal water condenses. The fog banks can reach more than 50 miles out to sea, most often in July, August, and September. In those rainless months, fog condensing on the trees of Inverness Ridge keeps the wooded hills moist.
Winter rain falls heaviest on the sheltered east side of Inverness Ridge, the reverse of the summer fog pattern. Storms rising over the ridge drop about three times as much water on Bear Valley as on the exposed point at the lighthouse. The strongest winds of the year usually come with southerly gales in November and December.
Tips for visiting Point Reyes National Seashore
Pick your side of the ridge
On a foggy summer day, head for Bear Valley or the Tomales Bay beaches, which are sheltered and sunnier. Save the headlands for clear days.
Watch for seasonal beach closures
Beaches can close to protect nesting western snowy plovers and pupping harbor seals. Check the park's current conditions page before you drive out.
Stay back from open-ocean surf
Sneaker waves hit without warning at Great Beach, McClures, and Kehoe. Stay at least 30 yards from the water and never turn your back on the surf.
Swim only in Drakes Bay or Tomales Bay
No beach has lifeguards. Limantour and Drakes are relatively safe when no surf advisory is posted, and Tomales Bay beaches are shallower and warmer.
Dogs only on certain beaches
Pets are allowed only on certain sections of Kehoe, Limantour, and Point Reyes Beach, on a leash no longer than 6 feet.
Point Reyes National Seashore through the seasons
- Spring (March–May)
- Gray whales are still passing the Lighthouse and Chimney Rock into May. Most spring days are windy on the exposed headlands.
- Summer (June–August)
- Summer brings two seasons at once. Inland trails turn warm and sunny by midday, while beaches and headlands sit in heavy fog and often run about 20°F cooler.
- Fall (September–November)
- Fall is the outer coast's best stretch, with the clearest days from late September into early November. The first storms can arrive in late October.
- Winter (December–February)
- Winter is storm season, when powerful storms come in from the southwest. Northern elephant seals arrive at Drakes Beach and Chimney Rock in late December.
Activities and the weather that matters
- Hiking: Forested trails east of Inverness Ridge are the summer choice. Coastal trails are at their best on clear fall days.
- Whale watching: Gray whales migrate past the park in winter and spring. Look from high points like the Lighthouse, Chimney Rock, and Tomales Point on calm days.
- Tule elk viewing: Elk graze the park's open grasslands, which are exposed to wind and summer fog. Clear days make them easier to spot.
- Picnicking and wading on Tomales Bay: The sheltered, sunnier east side of the ridge is the summer refuge when the ocean beaches are fogged in.
