Location
Big Sur is a rugged, mountainous region along the Central Coast of California that is bounded to the north by Carmel and to the south by Ragged Point, just past the southern, coastal border of Monterey County.
This page was created as part of the ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems class at CSUMB to highlight watershed topics within the region.
Geography
Climate
The Big Sur region experiences a Mediterranean climate characterized by dry summers and mild wet winters. From 1915 - 2016 the average annual temperature was 68.6 F and average rainfall was 40.79 inches[1] . Big Sur receives significantly more rain than other parts of Monterey County due to the influence of the coastally positioned Santa Lucia Mountains. This geographic feature forces cool ocean air to rise quickly and subsequently fall as precipitation.
