Info

The city owns and operates a general aviation airport, Santa Monica Airport, which hasbeen the site of several important aviation achievements. Passenger flights are availableat Los Angeles International Airport just to the south of Santa Monica via SepulvedaBoulevard.Like all Los Angeles County cities, Santa Monica is dependent upon the Port of LongBeach and the Port of Los Angeles for international ship cargo. In the 1890s, SantaMonica was once in competition with Wilmington, Calif., and San Pedro for recognitionas the "Port of Los Angeles" (see History of Santa Monica, California).GeographySanta Monica Bay coast with the Pier on the right. Note that the bluff is highest at thenorth end, here exaggerated by the perspective.Santa Monica is situated at 34°1'19" North, 118°28'53" West (34.022059, -118.481336) GR1 .The city rests on a mostly flat slope that angles down towards Ocean Ave and towards thesouth. Some beautiful high bluffs separate the city from the beaches.According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 41.2 km² (15.9mi²); 21.4 km² (8.3 mi²) of it is land. Its borders extend three nautical miles (5.6 km) outto sea, and so 19.8 km² (7.7 mi²) of it is water for a total area that is 48.08% water.Weather
Palm trees line Ocean AvenueSanta Monica enjoys an average of 325 days of sunshine a year. Because of its location,nestled on a vast open bay (Santa Monica Bay), morning fog and haze is a commonphenomenon in May, June and early July (caused by ocean temperature variations andcurrents). Locals have a particular terminology for this phenomenon: the "May Gray" andthe "June Gloom". Overcast skies are common for June mornings, but usually the strongsun burns the fog off by noon. Nonetheless, it will sometimes stay cloudy and cool allday during June, even as other parts of the Los Angeles area will enjoy sunny skies andwarmer temperatures. At times, the sun shines east of 20th St while the beach area isovercast.As a general rule, the temperature is from 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (3 to 5.5 degreesCelsius) cooler than it is inland. A typical spring day (Mid-April) is sunny, pleasant andabout 68 °F (20 °C). In the summer, which stretches basically from May to late October,temperatures can reach to the mid-80's Fahrenheit (about 30 °C) at the beach. Theaverage temperature for August is 71 °F (21 °C). September is the warmest month of theyear in Santa Monica, with an average of 73 °F (22 °C). It is also in September thatrecords tend to be broken. In early September 2004, temperatures of 92 °F to 98 °F (33°C to 37 °C) were recorded.In early November, it is about 68 °F (20 °C). In late January, temperatures are around 63°F (17 °C). It is winter, however, when the hot, dry winds of the Santa Anas are mostcommon. In mid-December 2004, temperatures soared to 84 °F (28 °C) in Santa Monica,for a few straight days, with perfectly sunny skies.The rainy season is from late October through late March. Winter storms usuallyapproach from the northwest and pass quickly through the Southland. There is very littlerain during the rest of the year.Santa Monica usually enjoys a cool breeze blowing in from the ocean, keeping the airfresh and clean. Therefore, smog is less a problem for Santa Monica than elsewherearound Los Angeles. However, in the autumn months of September through November,the Santa Ana winds will sometimes blow from the East, bringing smoggy inland air tothe beaches.
