    Winter sun in San Diego: patios & rooftops

    Best time for winter sun in San Diego

    San Diego's mild winter makes outdoor lunches and sunset drinks by the water possible almost any month.

    Find the patio that keeps the sun

    Low winter sun can leave patios in building shade before sunset. Compare estimated sun hours for listed San Diego patios and rooftop bars using available venue hours and local weather. Guest reports are separate observations; forecasts do not guarantee a sunny table. Check today's weather and outdoor service with the venue.

      Check available Google and Sun Map guest ratings alongside venue details. Missing ratings do not imply a place has been reviewed.

    • Live reports from locals

      Guest reports describe conditions someone observed at a venue. Where available, compare these with the forecast; a report is not a promise about your table.
