Larkspur in January
Not the best time
January is Larkspur's quietest month with stormy weather keeping most tourists away. You'll find cheaper accommodation and empty hiking trails, but pack for serious rain and chilly temperatures.
Weather
January brings cold, wet weather to Larkspur with frequent Pacific storms rolling through Marin County. Expect overcast skies most days with temperatures rarely climbing above 15°C. Morning fog often lingers until late morning, and you'll need waterproof gear for the 8-10 rainy days typical this month.

All Months
April through June brings the best weather — sunny days in the 70s with minimal fog. The hills turn green from winter rains, and you can actually see Mount Tamalpais clearly. September and October offer similar conditions with warmer temperatures.
Summer means fog. Lots of it. Mornings start gray and cold, then maybe clear by afternoon. Pack layers always. July averages 65 degrees, which shocks visitors expecting California heat.
Winter brings rain but also fewer crowds. January through March sees the most precipitation, but you'll have restaurants to yourself. The ferry still runs, and indoor activities like wine tasting work perfectly. Just bring waterproof shoes for those creek-side walks.
