Weather In Cabo

The weather in Cabo is legendary for offering gorgeous blue skies and outdoor fun for those willing to make the journey south enjoyable. Even though Mexico is known for having a warm climate year-round, it’s still worth discovering what the weather will be like in Cabo before making your journey.

Some months will be naturally cooler than others and will, therefore, be better suited to certain activities and events. While you can almost always guarantee great sunshine, there will be a perfect time of year to enjoy the sights and sounds, depending on your tastes.

This guide will summarize the most important information for those tourists heading to Los Cabos in January, February, or March, including what local events will be hosted, expected weather conditions, and what activities will be best suited to your time in the region.

Cabo Weather In January

Located on the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, Cabo is a prime spot to enjoy everything the region offers, including beautiful beaches, stunning wildlife, and excellent cuisine. And luckily for those who are heading south to escape the colder climates, you’ll be able to enjoy all of this without having to wear a coat!

This month is known to have the coolest temperatures and will be the perfect time to visit Cabo for those who aren’t fans of super hot conditions. With an average temperature of 61° F and average highs around 80° F, you will still need to plan your wardrobe accordingly so you don’t get caught out by early morning dips. The upside is that January is also the month with the least rainfall, giving you more blue skies and making planning your outdoor adventure much easier.

Cabo Activities in January

The change in weather conditions means that some outdoor activities will be higher on your list than others when visiting Cabo in January. Going to the beach will still be a blast, and you can expect plenty of other tourists even after New Year’s Day.

However, the ocean temperature will be lower than usual, which will likely put some off going for a paddle when checking out Medano or Chileno Beach. While swimming might not make it to the top of your travel itinerary in January, all the other fun activities outside the water will still be available.

Take the opportunity to try out ziplining, Camel Safaris rides, horseback riding, and the many tours on offer. And that’s without mentioning the many vehicles available for hire, including Dune Buggies and ATVs. For those seeking the roads less traveled, January is the perfect time to enjoy a hiking tour, with the temperatures lower and the going easier.

It should be noted January is a popular time to visit Cabo from the United States and Canada, so expect prices to be at their peak and plenty of competition when it comes to booking your favorite activities. The good news is you can always plan things in advance using some of the services offered by Pure Cabo:

Cabo Weather In February

February weather is much the same as in January, as temperatures will stay in the same range of highs and lows while also offering the chance of low rainfall and bright blue skies to enjoy. The thing to note here is that ocean temperatures don’t rise in any meaningful way, so if 73° F doesn’t sound ideal for a swim, you can skip the snorkeling trip for another time.

Cabo Activities in February

While there will be less time in the water during February in Cabo, you might find yourself on the water. That’s because holidaymakers can go whale watching around Los Cabos for a few short months of the year.

Cabo Fishing Charters

February is chosen as a standout time to go whale watching as the baby humpbacks are known to be the most active at this time off the Mexican coast. It’s a short window but a massive reason to go out and spend some quality time on the ocean with family and friends. Whale-watching activities are available between December and April, but you can expect the usual spike in interest during February as part of the regular seasonal rotation. Some of the most popular activities during the shortest month of the year include:

Cabo Weather In March

March is the month when temperatures start to increase, hitting averages of 71° F and highs that can peak at around 88° F. But even though that is great news for sunbathers and those planning on working up a sweat, not all activities will be enhanced by this temperature rise.

While things will start heating up on the beach, the water temperature is known to drop during March, meaning that plans for snorkeling or shark diving might need to be pushed back or replaced with something less water-intensive. Alternatively, you can check out the different options available for wetsuits to stay warm and dry while taking on your next big ocean experience.

Cabo Activities in March

With increased temperatures, March is the perfect month to stow away your warmer clothes and ensure you have the right wardrobe for taking in the sights and sounds of Cabo. While you might want to avoid hitting the water, there are still plenty of options to enjoy the ocean while onboard a special cruise.

Cabo Dinner Cruise

Plenty of options are available depending on how you want to spend your time, Dinner Cruises, Jazz & Wine events and Yacht Charters for those who want to take it up a notch. Cabo Yacht Charters are custom-tailored to your needs and specifications. No matter your needs, Pure Cabo will have a luxury yacht for your needs, group size, and budget.

Whenever you plan to visit Cabo, there will always be something fun for you and your family and friends to enjoy.
