Where to go
1. Cannon Beach, Oregon
Rank 1 isn’t a trophy — it’s a forecast fit. Cannon Beach (Oregon) lands near 64°F with only light rain on the books (~0.15 in), which is exactly the band people want for dry, mild course days.
What makes Cannon Beach useful isn’t hype; it’s timing. For 2026-08-15 – 2026-08-16, it reads like a place where you can help plan a short getaway around dry, mild course days and still have a backup café if a cloud shows up.
Bottom line for Cannon Beach: it’s on this list because it supports current recommendations for dry, mild course days, not because it always trends on social. That’s the difference between a real weather guide and a postcard.

If you’re scanning for current recommendations, put Big Sky near the top of the list: weekend air around 65°F / 49°F, plus only light rain on the books (~0.17 in).
This is the kind of mountains 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 Big Sky’s 65°F high against how you actually want to feel outside — then lock the plan once it feels like weather you’ll love.
