Todos Santos in August
Not the best time
August is the wettest, hottest month of the year. Only visit if you're chasing the absolute lowest prices and don't mind spending afternoons indoors waiting out thunderstorms.
Weather
August continues the hot, humid pattern with frequent afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Temperatures stay in the low 90s but the humidity makes it feel much hotter. Mornings often start clear before clouds build up.

All Months
October through April offers the sweet spot—warm days, cool evenings, and minimal rain. December and January bring the most pleasant temperatures, hovering around 75°F during the day and dropping to the 50s at night. This is also peak season, so expect higher prices and busier beaches. Spring (March-April) might be ideal—still comfortable weather but fewer crowds and better deals on accommodations. The surf is most consistent from November through March, when northern Pacific storms send steady swells to breaks like Cerritos and La Pastora. Summer gets brutally hot, with temperatures often exceeding 100°F, but it's also when you'll find the lowest prices and have beaches mostly to yourself. Hurricane season (June-November) brings occasional storms, though direct hits are rare. The desert landscape looks most dramatic after summer rains, when cacti bloom and the usually brown hills turn surprisingly green. Avoid major Mexican holidays like Semana Santa (Easter week) unless you enjoy crowds and inflated prices.
