Baja Mexico is a true year-round destination, thanks to its desert climate. But there are still better times to visit than others. If you want to get the most out of your trip with blue skies and sunshine, the best time to visit is typically between November and April. Plus, winter and early spring are also peak seasons for whales and other marine life.
The sections below will break down the best times of year to visit Baja Mexico, and what you can expect.
Baja Mexico During Winter (December-February)
During the winter in Baja Mexico, you can generally expect great temperatures for outdoor activities. But in areas like Todos Santos, you may experience slightly cooler temperatures with Pacific breezes.
The one thing to remember if you visit during the winter is that it is extremely busy. During and after the new year, prices tend to be inflated, and the availability of accommodation can be low. However, late winter is the best time to visit the area for whale watching, with grey whales, humpback whales, and blue whales making an appearance.
In addition, early winter is one of the two times per year that Mobula Rays can be spotted in the Sea of Cortez. They are known for their acrobatic leaps out of the water, making them easy to spot as you enjoy the beach.
Baja Mexico During Spring (March-May)
If you decide you want to avoid cooler weather, visiting spring could be just the right time to take in the sites and enjoy the beaches in Baja Mexico. Temperatures are warmer than in the winter but are not yet unbearable, making it the perfect time to take a dip in the water.
In Baja Mexico, you may still be able to spot some whales, as blue whales hang out until March, while grey whales and humpbacks are usually in the waters until April.
Baja Mexico During Summer (June-August)
In Baja Mexico, summer means hot weather and possible rain, especially in the northern part of the state. The good news is that the hot weather drives down prices, so you can enjoy the area without an influx of other tourists. And if you tend to avoid crowds, this can be the best time to visit the area.
While the whales may be gone, other sea animals appear during the warmer months. You can expect to see many sea lions and sea turtles coming ashore for the breeding season.
Baja Mexico During Fall (September-November)
While September is usually hot with the chance for hurricanes, mid-October starts what is considered peak season for Baja Mexico. The hot temperatures stick around into October and begin to drop into November.
If you’re looking for wildlife, whale sharks begin to appear in October, while sea turtles and their hatchlings will be seen typically until November, when they make their way into the ocean.
