| Average November Weather | |

November reshapes the San Diego tee sheet in ways October doesn't. Shoulder-season pricing hasn't fully arrived yet — the season-tier badge reads Peak for a reason — but weekend morning slots open up faster than they did in summer, and savvy players can often grab a prime 8 a.m. spot with less than a week's notice. Temperatures average 70F at the high and 51F at the low, a 19-degree daily swing that matters more here than the raw numbers suggest.
That spread means a 7 a.m. shotgun start feels genuinely cool, while a midday finish is comfortable short-sleeve weather. With only 4 precipitation days in the month — fourth-driest on the calendar — and peak winds sitting at 10.5 mph (second-calmest of any month), the data supports booking aggressively. The window between rain and wind is about as favorable as San Diego gets.
With demand softening from summer peaks but courses still running full weekend slates, aim to book Saturday and Sunday tee times 5-7 days out rather than the 2-week lead time August requires. Weekday afternoon slots — when that 70°F high is fully in effect — are frequently available 48 hours ahead and represent the best value-to-conditions ratio of the fall calendar. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
October was warmer by 5°F at the high and nearly tied on precipitation at 3 days, so if your only goal is maximum warmth, October edges November slightly. But November is actually 0.5 mph calmer on peak wind, and the tee-sheet competition thins noticeably as summer visitors stop planning trips. December drops 6°F further, adds 3 more rain days, and is only marginally calmer at 9.9 mph peak wind, making November the clearly stronger choice heading into winter.
Climate normals show the long-term picture, but day-to-day weather varies. Check today's live golf weather score for San Diego, CA for the current playability rating, hourly wind, temperature, and the recommended tee time window.

November sits in peak season by tier, but visitor volume drops compared to summer and early fall, so tee sheets loosen up noticeably on weekday mornings and even some weekend slots. With only 4 average precipitation days and 10.5 mph peak winds, conditions are genuinely favorable and competition for prime times is lower than it was in September or October.
Average lows hit 51°F, which most golfers feel hardest during early morning rounds before the temperature climbs toward the 70°F daytime high. That 19-degree daily swing is the key variable — dress for the low, and you'll be overprepared by the back nine on a typical November afternoon.
