When most people picture Cabo, they imagine endless sunshine—and they’re not wrong. But if you’re planning to visit during the summer, it’s essential to know what to expect. Summer in Cabo brings its own unique rhythm: vibrant marine life, warm sea temperatures, seasonal adventures, and yes—some serious heat.

For luxury travelers looking to escape, unwind, and explore Baja California Sur under the summer sun, this guide will help you make the most of the hottest season of the year.

WHAT THE WEATHER’S REALLY LIKE IN SUMMER  

From June through September, Cabo experiences its warmest weather of the year, with average daytime temperatures ranging from 90°F to 100°F (32°C to 38°C). Humidity levels also rise, especially in August and September, creating a tropical feel.

Although it’s the region’s official rainy season, rain is infrequent and usually comes in short bursts during the afternoon or evening. Hurricane season runs from mid-June to late October, but direct storms are rare thanks to Cabo’s geography and consistent monitoring systems.

Pro tip: Mornings are cooler and ideal for outdoor activities like kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking.

WHY SUMMER IN CABO IS STILL A GREAT TIME TO VISIT  

Despite the heat, summer is far from low season in Cabo—it’s a hidden gem for travelers in the know. Here’s why:

Warm ocean temperatures are perfect for swimming, diving, and snorkeling.

Fewer crowds at luxury resorts and top attractions create a more exclusive experience.

Prime time for surfing along the East Cape and Costa Azul.

Mobula ray migration and sea turtle nesting season offer unforgettable wildlife encounters.

TOP SUMMER ACTIVITIES YOU CAN’T MISS  

ISLAND HOPPING TO ESPÍRITU SANTO  

A UNESCO-protected island just off the coast of La Paz, Espíritu Santo is one of Baja’s most pristine marine reserves. During summer, the waters are at their warmest and clearest— perfect for paddleboarding along volcanic cliffs or relaxing in secluded bays. While snorkeling is a highlight of the season, it’s important to note that the sea lion colony is temporarily closed from June to August to protect the pups, so swimming with sea lions is not available during these months.

This experience is one of our top-rated summer tours and is ideal for couples, families, and solo travelers alike. Pair it with our private yacht options for an added touch of luxury.

UNDERWATER ADVENTURES IN CABO PULMO  

Summer is also the best time to explore Cabo Pulmo, one of the oldest living coral reefs in North America. With visibility at its peak, scuba divers and snorkelers can enjoy encounters with bull sharks, sea turtles, and massive schools of fish. Our blog on Discover the Untouched Beauty of Cabo Pulmo offers a deeper look.

NIGHTTIME MAGIC: SEA TURTLE NESTING  

Between July and October, the beaches of Los Cabos become nurseries for sea turtles, who come ashore to lay their eggs under the moonlight. Several eco-friendly tours allow visitors to witness this magical event while participating in conservation efforts.

TIPS TO STAY COOL & COMFORTABLE IN THE SUMMER HEAT  

• Start activities early in the morning to avoid peak heat.

• Stay hydrated with electrolytes, not just water.

• Opt for shaded or indoor lunch spots during midday hours.

• Wear light, breathable fabrics and reef-safe sunscreen.

• Book private excursions with A/C-equipped vehicles and personalized service.
