Cruising California: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from May to October. Summer months bring reliable north-westerly breezes and warmer temperatures, though coastal fog is common in the mornings during May and June. September and October often provide clear skies and calmer seas. Winter cruising is possible but subject to Pacific storms and larger swells. Southern California marinas are busy year-round, while the Channel Islands remain relatively quiet.
Practical tips
- Main airports are Los Angeles (LAX), San Diego (SAN) and San Francisco (SFO). Marina del Rey is 15 minutes from LAX; San Diego marinas are 10-15 minutes from SAN.
- Coastal fog, known locally as the marine layer, frequently reduces visibility in the mornings during early summer, requiring reliance on radar and GPS for navigation.
- Watch for thick kelp beds around the Channel Islands; they can foul propellers and block engine cooling intakes, requiring careful visual navigation.
Anchorages to know
- Avalon Harbour, Catalina IslandA busy, sheltered harbour with mooring buoys, providing direct access to the town of Avalon and its shoreside facilities.
- Smuggler's Cove, Santa Cruz IslandLocated on the eastern end of the island, this anchorage offers protection from prevailing north-westerly winds and access to coastal hiking trails.
- Cuyler Harbor, San Miguel IslandA sweeping bay on the northern coast of San Miguel, requiring careful navigation around kelp beds, featuring a sandy beach and seal colonies.
- Mission Bay, San DiegoA large, protected recreational bay in San Diego with designated anchorages and marinas, offering calm waters and direct access to the city.
