San Diego Tennis Weather — Nearly Perfect, Every Morning
San Diego has the best year-round tennis weather in the country — it's not really a debate. But "almost always perfect" still leaves room for June Gloom mornings, offshore wind events, and the occasional week of winter rain. Playable catches the exceptions so you can count on the rule.

Spring
Excellent — but June Gloom arrives in May
March and April are flawless: 62–72°F, low humidity, minimal wind. By late May the marine layer starts its seasonal push inland, leaving coastal courts damp in the mornings even without rain. Inland courts (Rancho Bernardo, Chula Vista) see it less. Playable catches the marine layer moisture in its precipitation tracking.
Summer
June Gloom, then perfect from July on
June is the year's trickiest month in San Diego — the marine layer is thickest, mornings can be cool and foggy, and courts near the coast can stay damp. By July the pattern breaks: skies clear by mid-morning, temperatures are ideal (70–80°F), and rain is essentially zero. August and September are as good as tennis weather gets.
Fall
The long run of near-perfect conditions
October through November is exceptional. The marine layer retreats, Santa Ana wind events can occasionally spike conditions (watch Playable's wind flags in October), and temperatures settle into the low-to-mid 70s for weeks at a time. This is when San Diego's outdoor courts fill up.
Winter
Still good — just watch the rain weeks
December through February is mild (55–65°F mornings) and mostly dry. San Diego averages about 10 inches of rain annually, and most of it comes in a handful of concentrated systems January through March. Between those systems, winter mornings are outstanding. Playable will flag the wet stretches clearly.
