How is the Climate in Half Moon Bay

The climate in Half Moon Bay is more "foggy San Francisco" than "sunny California" in style. It's easy to spot the tourists on the beach: they're the ones shivering in bikinis. The local residents are more likely to be found in wetsuits or strolling along the beach in shirts and rolled-up pants. Although there are cold snaps that drop below freezing every few years or so, and a few days here or there that are warm enough to be uncomfortable every year, on typical days, it's cool and somewhat windy, but not downright cold. Even in the summer, you'll want to pack a jacket or an extra shirt to put on when the ocean breeze kicks up in the early evening. Plan for rain from mid-October through April.{{climate | align = none | units = imperial | janhigh = 59 | febhigh = 60 | marhigh = 60 | aprhigh = 61 | mayhigh = 61 | junhigh = 64 | julhigh = 65 | aughigh = 66 | sephigh = 66 | octhigh = 66 | novhigh = 62 | dechigh = 59 | janlow = 42 | feblow = 42 | marlow = 43 | aprlow = 43 | maylow = 47 | junlow = 49 | jullow = 52 | auglow = 52 | seplow = 50 | octlow = 47 | novlow = 44 | declow = 42 | janprecip = 5.5 | febprecip = 5.2 | marprecip = 4.2 | aprprecip = 1.9 | mayprecip = 1.0 | junprecip = 0.3 | julprecip = 0.1 | augprecip = 0.2 | sepprecip = 0.4 | octprecip = 1.6 | novprecip = 3.3 | decprecip = 5.3 | description = {{ForecastNOAA|Half Moon Bay|37.4725|-122.44333    Data from NOAA (1981-2010)]
