The best time to visit Cabo San Lucas largely depends on what you’re looking for in your trip. Here’s a breakdown of the different times of year:

Winter (December to February)

• Pros: This is the high season, with the best weather (dry and pleasantly warm), and it’s a great time for whale watching.
• Cons: Higher prices and larger crowds.

Spring (March to May)

• Pros: The weather is still very pleasant, with fewer crowds than the winter months. Spring break might bring in more people, but it's not as busy as the winter season.
• Cons: Prices can still be relatively high, especially during spring break.

Summer (June to August)

• Pros: Lower prices and fewer tourists. Great for those who enjoy hot weather.
• Cons: The weather can be very hot and humid. This period is also the beginning of hurricane season.

Fall (September to November)

• Pros: Prices are lower, and crowds are minimal. The weather is still warm but not as hot as in the summer. Great time for fishing.
• Cons: Hurricane season can extend into early fall, so there’s a slight risk of storms.

Specific Tips:

• Whale Watching: Late December to March is the best time to see whales.
• Fishing: Peak season for fishing is from June to December.
• Surfing: The best waves are typically from June to August.
