What percent of the year is somewhat sunny?

I haven't lived there, but I would say from the times that I have been there that it is sunny maybe 50% of the time. Basically, the rule is, the closer you are to beach on the west the foggier it is. This area at the edge of the sunset is right at breaking point where the hills create a little bit of a barrier, so you are still going to get a lot of fog.

Good luck!

Thanks for taking the time :-) we may move there, and know it will be a change from San Diego, where we are now :-). Chris
