Best Times to Visit Cabo San Lucas

The best time to visit Cabo is May and June, when the wintertime crowds have gone home and the summertime storms have yet to hit. October and November are also nice months for a vacation, but you'll need to begin your hotel search early if you want to save money. It could be that your motivation for visiting is not the beach: If you're into whale watching, plan to visit between December and March. If you like to fish, look to come in the late summer or fall.

December-April	Vacationing now will mean contending with high prices and heavy crowds. The season usually comes with highs in the mid to high 70s, and toward the end of the season, the mid 80s. Room rates range from $200 to $600 a night at some of the popular resorts. Toward the end of the season Spring Breakers descend on Baja California, and finding lodging in downtown Cabo could prove especially difficult. If you're into whale watching, this is also the best time for you to take your trip. Key Events: Todos Santos (February) Spring Break (Mid March-Early April)
May-June	Early bookers will be treated to some of the best discounts in this tiny window, as the area recovers from a busy winter and preps for a potentially storm-laden summer. Plus the springtime weather is comfortable, with temperatures that rarely crest 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Begin your hotel search by late winter to score the sweetest deal.
July-September	There's a slight chance of hurricanes in summer, but increased rain showers are a definite. Cabo's temperatures are also less than ideal, that is, unless you like sticking to your beach-chair cushions (highs are in the mid 90s). But perhaps you'll be seduced by summertime discounts -- even the frou frou resorts offer rooms for less than $90 a night. Keep in mind that the worst of the Pacific hurricane season is over by late September.
October-November	Hotel rates begin to climb as the area prepares for its peak season; if you want to experience Cabo at this time it's best to book at least two months in advance. Otherwise, you could face room rates that are just as scandalous as in winter. There are also quite a few fishing tournaments in fall; this is the season to find tuna, wahoo, blue marlin and sailfish swimming in Cabo's waters. Key Events: Los Cabos Billfish Tournament (October) Baja Sur Tequila and Mariachi Festival (October) Bisbee's Black and Blue Marlin Tournament(October) Dia de los Muertos (November) Tuna Jackpot Tournament (November)
