The Los Cabos area is flanked on the west side by the Pacific Ocean and on the east side by the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California), with the Sierra de La Laguna range cutting through the center of the Cape Region at the end of the Baja peninsula. This produces microclimates on either side of this peninsula, so temperatures on the Sea of Cortez side and Pacific Ocean side can vary as much as 15 °F.

During the summer months, the Sea of Cortez climate is more humid and hotter than the Pacific side; in the winter months, the Pacific side is considerably cooler than the Sea of Cortez.  As a result, San José del Cabo and the East Cape have warmer summers, while Cabo San Lucas has cooler and windier winter weather.

Hurricane Information

Hurricanes and tropical storms can come through the Los Cabos area.  The hurricane season in the Eastern Pacific Ocean officially runs from May 15 to November 30, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), however, most hurricanes develop later in the season due to the higher sea surface temperatures.

Hurricanes in Cabo San Lucas

NOAA constantly monitors for hurricanes and tropical storms in the Eastern Pacific and uses forecast models to determine the likely trajectory and strength of the storms. This information is reported out in public advisories every few hours on the National Hurricane Center’s website.

The United States Air Force also sends reconnaissance aircraft over potential hurricanes to collect additional data, which is also reported in the public advisories. This allows for an adequate warning, usually on the order of many days, for the approach of a storm or hurricane.

Most businesses in Cabo just play through during a storm or even a hurricane, remaining open either through or right up until the storm and reopening right after.
