San Diego Braces for Santa Ana Winds and Coastal Flooding
US · Published Nov 4, 2026
• San Diego is experiencing a mix of weather conditions this week.
• A storm passing through Northern California is bringing patchy drizzle to light rain overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, with little to no accumulation expected.

Impact & Risks

The weak to mild Santa Ana winds, combined with warmer temperatures, are not expected to significantly increase fire danger due to recent rainfall. However, coastal areas may experience minor flooding during high tides, particularly from Saturday through Tuesday, with tides potentially peaking between 7.4 and 7.6 feet. Surf conditions may also worsen, with waves reaching 6 to 7 feet. Residents in flood-prone areas should remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect their properties.
