Extend your summer season! Come to Mission Bay! The 5 day weather forecast for San Diego looks a little more like you would expect for July than for the beginning of November. Rather than grabbing your sled and snowboard, grab a wakeboard or water skis and take advantage of the great conditions we are lucky to have so late in the season.
