around 4:30 pm the the heat vacuum will draw cool air in from the Pacific Ocean and the overnight low will dip to the mid-50s. That, and the wind, cools down the grapes enough so they don't superheat.

You can just about set you watch to those daily breezes. It's why coastal Northern California is such a great place tp grow wine grapes.
