The City of Lompoc is located where California Hwy 1 and Hwy 246 meet: Fifty-five miles Northwest of Santa Barbara and ten miles Southeast of Vandenberg Air Force Base. Rolling hills surround the Lompoc Valley in the north, south, and east. The Pacific Ocean is 9 miles to the west. The Santa Ynez River (dry most of the year) runs east to west through the valley. A chaparral forest with sandy soil, named Burton Mesa, runs to the north.

Lompoc weather is broadly defined as a cool Mediterranean climate that is typical to most coastal areas in Southern California. In Lompoc, the summers are short, comfortable, dry, and mostly clear and the winters are cold, wet, windy, and partly cloudy. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 40°F to 72°F and is rarely below 32°F or above 82°F.
