What to Wear in San Francisco Today
The weather in San Francisco is mild all year long. Our summers are moderate during the day and average temperatures in the mid-to-upper 60s. It's chilly at night as the fog rolls in.
Our spring and fall are the sunniest months even though temperatures are about the same as the summer months. The winters are our rainy season. Being that it rains just a few days each month, so you will often have mostly clear days even in the winter. This time of year is a little cooler with temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

Cruises Today in SF
Three sides of San Francisco are bordered by water, so you will find several different cruises each day. The most popular is the 60-minute bay cruise. The same cruise is operated by two companies and both leave from Fisherman's Wharf.
Almost every day, you will also find dinner, sunset, and sailing cruises. All of them cruise under or near the Golden Gate Bridge and most spend some time cruising near Alcatraz Island.
