csmith2205 Posted April 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hi, my wife and I are looking at booking a Pacific Coastal cruise on the Ruby in October/November 2018. We're from the UK and I was wondering what sort of weather we should expect at this time of year in the ports and at sea - LA, SF, Monterey, San Diego and Ensenada? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJGallagher1955 Posted April 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2017 October is normally quite pleasant still. Days will still be warm with cooler evenings. Weather will become cooler in November with possibility of some rain, but our rainy season in Southern California is usually in January/February. It can be a bit windy during this time of year as well, so not sure how that affects life on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior lady Posted April 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2017 very cool on the ocean, probably no "pool" days. Ports will be warm, but not hot. Dress in layers:) probably wouldn't hurt to pack a small umbrella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1950 Posted April 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2017 You may want to do a Google search for average temperatures in each of those cities in the months you are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pbears Posted April 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Actually, you have the possibility to get some very pleasant weather in San Francisco and Monterey that time of year. The Fall can actually be quite nice. Once you get down past San Diego and head for Ensenada you will get some warmer weather as well. Of course you will have some chilly days at sea but we have done this itinerary at this time of year a few times and it has most always been quite pleasant. Pack "layers" for safety and be sure to have a light jacket or windbreaker. Enjoy. We are doing this cruise out of San Francisco in October of this year.

DrivesLikeMario Posted April 7, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Since you're from the UK, the weather will probably feel much warmer than you're used to at that time of year. On the average, you will probably encounter a little of these things: fog, rain, wind and A LOT of sunshine. Ensenada is usually cooler than San Diego, not warmer. You don't get that kind of warmth until you get much farther south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted April 7, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 7, 2017 We've some more than one coastal in October or November, and we lucked out with great weather every time. It's possible to get cold and rainy, but not so likely in those months.You can get fog any time of the year on the West Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spcl4cs_gal Posted April 8, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 8, 2017 What about doing this cruise in March? How is the weather at that time of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pris993 Posted April 8, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I am from San Francisco... live in the bay area, September, October and November months have some of the best weather on the west coast generally.... March by comparison you more of a chance for rain... depends on whether we are having a draught... this year... it is still raining it April... I would go in the fall vs spring any year. Even so... at sea it is cooler, never that warm 60 degrees at best off the California coast... in port you might see warmer weather around 70 ... varies from day to day... so like others say dress in layers... still a great time of year here.

csmith2205 Posted April 10, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks for all your replies. With temperatures in high 60s / low 70s, sounds like a warm summers day in Scotland - exactly what we're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
