3. Half Moon Bay, California
If you’re scanning for current recommendations, put Half Moon Bay near the top of the list: weekend air around 65°F / 54°F, plus only light rain on the books (~0.15 in).
What makes Half Moon Bay useful isn’t hype; it’s timing. For 2026-08-22 – 2026-08-23, 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 Half Moon Bay: 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.
