All Months
Winter months from November through April offer perfect weather — sunny days in the 80s with cool evenings. This is peak season, so expect crowds and premium prices. Hotel rates can triple compared to summer. But winter also brings whale watching season. Gray whales migrate here from Alaska, and you'll spot them breaching right from the beach. Spring break in March turns Cabo San Lucas into a college party zone. If that's not your scene, stick to San José del Cabo or visit in early December. Summer brings intense heat — we're talking 100°F days with humidity that makes it feel even hotter. Hurricane season runs June through November, though direct hits remain rare. The shoulder seasons of May and November offer the best balance of decent weather and reasonable prices. Look, if you're planning a romantic getaway, avoid March entirely. The spring break crowds will kill any romantic vibe you're hoping to create.
