Corte Madera in September

Great time to visit

Many locals consider September the year's best month. Weather stays perfect but crowds and prices start dropping after Labor Day.

Weather

September often delivers Corte Madera's best weather as summer heat breaks but sunny skies continue. The marine layer becomes less aggressive, giving you more consistently warm afternoons. Still no rain and lower humidity than summer.

September Tips

  • Tourist crowds start thinning after Labor Day weekend
  • This is actually peak farmers market season with harvest produce

All Months

April through October gives you the best weather, with warm days and cool evenings perfect for outdoor dining. Summer brings fog that rolls in from the coast most afternoons, but it usually burns off by mid-morning. The farmers market runs year-round, but the best selection happens during harvest season from August through October. Winter gets rainy but rarely cold — temperatures stay in the 50s and 60s. This is actually a great time to visit if you're focused on shopping and indoor activities, plus hotel rates drop. Spring wildflower season in nearby parks peaks around March and April. Avoid major shopping weekends like Black Friday unless you enjoy crowds — The Village gets packed with shoppers from across the Bay Area.
