Morro Bay sits under maritime skies in USA, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the August peak reaches a 98/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 21°C — a solid base for a nature-first trip.
The year runs from average lows of 8°C in March to highs of 22°C in October. The wet–dry contrast is pronounced: 28% rain-day odds in March against 0% in July. Note that average highs never reach 24°C in any month — pack for mild weather rather than hot.
