Los Cabos offers endless sunshine, stunning beaches, and vibrant marine life. Surf or snorkel in its clear waters or enjoy desert adventures and lively nights. Whether you’re looking for a luxury resort experience or outdoor fun, knowing the best time to visit can enhance your trip. Keep reading to find the season that best fits your Cabo vacation goals.

Summer in Los Cabos 

The Los Cabos summer is best spent by the beach – the reason many visitors head to the area. Cabo has a huge choice of picturesque beaches, such as Medano, Chileno, and Los Cerritos. These are best enjoyed during the driest months of the year, which fall between May and July, when the skies are clear and temperatures reach around 85°F most days.

The waters are also warm and ideal for surfing. Thanks to swells from the Southern Hemisphere, waves are consistent at most beaches, making for perfect conditions for new and experienced surfers.

The beaches also tend to be less busy after the spring break parties have finished during March and April, meaning visitors, including young families, can enjoy the area at a slower and more relaxed pace.



Fall in Los Cabos 

The start of autumn brings hot and humid conditions, along with a small chance of hurricanes in Los Cabos. But this soon passes and the normal conditions of clear skies and warm weather quickly resume.

The city springs back into life in October, largely thanks to the Bisbee's Black & Blue fishing tournaments. This is the world’s richest fishing event, with millions of dollars at stake for the teams taking part. It draws in huge crowds, who come to see the catches being weighed and enormous checks being handed out as prizes. The celebrations then carry on beyond the marina and the downtown bars are filled with a party atmosphere.

Cabo also puts on a very different spectacle a few weeks later, with the Los Cabos International Film Festival. The celebration of Mexican, Canadian, and U.S. cinema has built quite the reputation over the past decade and is partnered with the world-famous Cannes festival. Movie fans can enjoy special screenings and talks, as well as the chance to spot a few famous faces.



Winter in Los Cabos 

Los Cabos is a perfect destination for people looking to escape the cold of winter at home and spend their Christmas in Los Cabos.

While winter brings the coolest months, temperatures reach 75°F most days, which is ideal for spending all day by the beach. The waters are almost just as warm and are great for snorkelling and diving at this time of year. These conditions carry on in Los Cabos in February before getting warmer in spring.

If you are planning to spend the holidays in Cabo, then you cannot miss the fireworks celebrations on New Year’s Eve. The waterfront is lit up by a spectacular display, which creates a truly memorable way to bring in the New Year and adds another reason for it being a great time of year to visit Los Cabos.
