Oakhurst is situated in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The surrounding mountains and hills influence the atmospheric pressure. The city's elevation also plays a role in shaping the local climate.

The terrain around Oakhurst creates a rain shadow effect. Moist air from the Pacific Ocean is blocked by the Sierra Nevada mountain range. This leads to dry air and clear skies during the summer. In the winter, the same mountains force warm air to rise, resulting in precipitation.
