San Diego’s Warmest Weather, on average, should occur in August through early September, according to statistics compiled from several decades of measurements taken near the San Diego International Airport. In an average year, coastal residents enjoy an average daily temperature of 70°, which compares favorably (depending on your point of view) with the January average daily temperature of 55°. The range between the high and low is typically 10° or less this time of year. August’s warm, semi-tropical weather will eventually give way to September’s and October’s slightly cooler days, interspersed with occasional heat waves brought on by Santa Ana conditions — dry, hot winds that sweep down the mountain slopes from the interior.

Ocean Water Temperatures Should Also Be Peaking this month, generally the result of weeks of summer sunshine and warm coastal air temperatures. This week's ocean temps aren't expected to exceed 67° and the water offshore seldom exceeds 70° Fahrenheit. But shallow-water temperatures of 70°-80° are not uncommon on gently shelving beaches late in the day. Wide, sandy beaches such as Coronado, south Mission Beach, and La Jolla Shores are now at their best for comfortable bathing.

The scent of "true Jasmine"(genus Jasminum) is strong this time of year.

Jasmine’s Thick, Sweet Odor Wafts On The Night Breezes this time of year, especially throughout the older, well-landscaped neighborhoods of San Diego. The exotic odor is produced by the flowers of true jasmines (genus Jasminum), as opposed to the so-called “star jasmine” (genus Trachelospermum) which blooms in the late spring and early summer.

August’s Full Moon Will Arrive On Saturday the 9th. And as always, as the full moon arrives, so do tidal peaks.. A high tide of +6.96 feet is predicted at 9:26 pm Friday, August 8, and a slightly lower tide of +6.89 feet is due at 10:03 pm on Saturday, August 9. Lowest tides for the month occur very early in the morning: a -0.85–foot tide at 3:59 am on Friday and a -0.89–foot tide at 4:28 am on Saturday.
