Los Cabos by Month

Cool, dry, and breezy — January delivers Los Cabos's most comfortable weather window with low humidity, peak whale watching, and the kind of bright desert skies snowbirds dream about.

The best-weather month on the Los Cabos calendar — dry, sunny, warm but not hot, with peak whale activity and the lowest sargassum of the year. Book early for Valentine's Day and Presidents' Week.

Spring Break starts — March is busy, expensive, and loud. The weather is gorgeous and whales are still active, but the resort zone belongs to college students for three straight weeks.

Spring Break peaks early April, then Easter week brings Mexican families. Whales depart mid-month. Warm, dry, and quieter than March — but Easter is busy.

The shoulder sweet spot. Warm, dry, quiet, and the best value month on the Los Cabos calendar. Sportfishing tournaments kick off and resorts run deep promotions.

Heat begins. Brief afternoon showers possible but rarely disrupt the day. The Star Billfish Tournament brings anglers, and resorts are quiet. Great value if you can handle the warmth.

Hot and humid. Summer Mexican families arrive for school holidays, and Bisbee's East Cape fishing tournament brings serious anglers. A value month for travelers who can handle the heat.

The hottest month in Los Cabos. Storm season begins but rarely hits hard. Deals are abundant and Mexican families are on vacation. A warm-water value pick for heat-tolerant travelers.

Peak hurricane window. The lowest prices and crowds of the year, but many restaurants close for maintenance. A gamble for budget travelers with flexible dates and good insurance.

Hurricane tail meets the Bisbee's Black & Blue marlin tournament — a huge event that brings the world's top anglers. Weather improves sharply by mid-month. A great value with one big party.

The shoulder sweet spot returns. Weather is gorgeous, the dry season is back, and the Los Cabos Film Festival brings culture to town. Highly recommended — one of Cabo's best months.

Whales return mid-December and the holiday weeks are peak. Early December is the value window — gorgeous weather, lower rates, and breaching whales just offshore.
