There really is not a bad time of year to visit Cabo San Lucas, although most travelers tend to go in the summer to make maximum use of the Cabo San Lucas beaches. Cabo San Lucas generally stays at a moderate temperature throughout the year, although travelers coming from cooler climates might think that summers are a bit hot. Average summer temperatures in Cabo San Lucas are sixty five degree lows and ninety five degree highs. Average winter temperatures are sixty degree lows and seventy five degree highs.
The one weather problem which occasionally plagues Cabo San Lucas is a series of tropical storms which hit the area in the latter months of the summer each year. However, these storms rarely affect Cabo San Lucas directly, usually staying out in the ocean or hitting the shores in areas surrounding Cabo San Lucas instead of hitting Cabo San Lucas directly. Generally, these storms cause a bit of rain in the area which tends to last for only a short period of time before the sun is out and shining again and the beaches are re-filled with throngs of people.
Please note the Cabo San Lucas is known for 'Spring Break'...when many college students vacation, then often times visit Cabo and 'party hardy'. Easter is another big holiday, as well as the winter months when the 'snow birds' leave the colder Northern states for warmer climes. Think ahead before booking your trip, or you may find it difficult to locate rooms, fishing boats, sporting equipment to rent (at the beach), and long waits at popular eating establishments. Also realize that although Cabo is 'on the sea'...you are in the Mexican desert. You've passed the Tropic of Cancer (which is near Todos Santos), and the sun shines hotter and brighter.
