2026-10-04 doesn't have to be a wash. Here's a clearer weather Plan B.
The question
Where near Salt Lake City has 65°F weather this weekend?
Weekend comparison
| Destination | High | Rain | Match | Travel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cannon Beach, Oregon | 70°F | 0.10" | 99% | ~701 mi |
| Carmel-by-the-Sea, California | 67°F | 0.00" | 99% | ~613 mi |
| Pismo Beach, California | 69°F | 0.05" | 99% | ~614 mi |
Where to go
1. Cannon Beach, Oregon
If you’re scanning for current recommendations, put Cannon Beach near the top of the list: weekend air around 70°F / 52°F, plus only light rain on the books (~0.10 in).
This is the kind of beach stop you discover when you stop browsing generic guides and start asking for weather-perfect weekends. You can actually plan a trip around outdoor time here without pretending the sky will cooperate out of kindness.
If you’re comparing two or three towns, weigh Cannon Beach’s 70°F high against how you actually want to feel outside — then lock the plan once it feels like weather you’ll love.

Rank 3 isn’t a trophy — it’s a forecast fit. Pismo Beach (California) lands near 69°F with a dry outlook with little to no rain, which is exactly the band people want for warm shore air and lighter rain.
Call it a hidden gem or a familiar favorite — either way, the point is the outlook. Travelers trying to find your perfect weather for 2026-10-04 should shortlist Pismo Beach before the hotter or wetter options crowd the tab.
Use it as a concrete recommendation: fly or drive for beach weather weekends, keep an eye on updates, and treat 69°F as your planning anchor — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”
