This live stream looks out toward the Pacific from Pacifica, a coastal town on the San Mateo County shoreline just south of San Francisco. Watch it to check the sea, the fog and the light on the coast before you plan a trip or simply to see how the ocean looks today.

About Pacifica

Pacifica sits on a series of bluffs and beaches along the northern stretch of the San Mateo coast, with the Santa Cruz Mountains rising behind the town. It is known for its surf breaks, its long sandy shoreline and the dramatic cliffs that give the coast its character. The town is quieter than San Francisco, and its shoreline is shaped as much by Pacific swell and wind as by the city next door.

What the camera shows

Because the view is a coastal one, the most interesting moments tend to be early morning and late afternoon, when the light is low and the water is clearer. Summer often brings a marine layer of fog that rolls in and out through the day, so conditions can change quickly. Weather in the coast is changeable, and what you see on screen may differ a lot from one hour to the next.

Climate and getting around

Pacifica has a mild Mediterranean-type climate, with cool, foggy summers and wetter, somewhat warmer winters. Spring and early autumn are often the most pleasant times to visit the shore. Nearby cameras include Daly City at Mussel Rock Park, roughly 6 km away, and views of San Francisco and Sausalito further north, so you can compare conditions along the bay.
