Summer is the season that sees the fewest visitors from Los Cabos. It was traditionally true and confirmed by statistics From Los Cabos Tourism Board (Titurca) in the past five years. However, this does not mean that it is the worst time to visit. On the contrary, there are several good reasons why it may be the best time to plan your Los Cabos vacation.
The weather must be admitted, it is not necessarily one of them. It is very hot in Los Cabos in summer, and months like August and September are when the region is most likely to see tropical storms or Sometimes even hurricanes. Nor is there the delicious contrast with the icy temperatures elsewhere which make Los Cabos a wonderful place to visit during the winter or the beginning of spring, the height of its high tourist season.
How hot is it in Los Cabos during the summer?
It’s hot, of course, but not much warmer than other popular tourist destinations on the beach. The average average daily temperature in Los Cabos in June is between 89 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, slightly hotter than the average of 85 in Honolulu. July and August are slightly warmer, but the average daily summits are only 91 degrees. Honolulu, on the other hand, competitor of the same tourist dollars, sees average temperatures of 86 and 87 F during these months. It is not a significant difference, and let’s be honest: outside the southern hemisphere, it is hot in August everywhere.

Low hotel rates and less competition for rooms
Los Cabos is acclaimed for its many luxury destinations, but even those of substantial means, well considered, prefers to pay less. Welcome to the summer. The average daily prices are always the highest in Mexico, US $ 425 in June$ 415 in July and $ 366 in August In 2024. However, for the context, they are also more modest than during any other season for the destination. THE Average rate in March Last year was $ 553, which means that the rates of June was 23% less, July 24 and August 33%. These figures suggest a real discount to travel during what is still perceived as the slow season.
Since fewer people visit during the summer – around 780,000 against 1.2 million in winter – this means not only lower rates, but there is also less competition to obtain them.
Preserve external conditions and discount rates
Los Cabos became popular as a tourist destination in the 1950s and 1960s because of its superb fishing, Marlin being particularly sought after and abundant. A notable sign of the way Los Cabos changed during the decades is in March 2024, the month with the highest hotel rates, was also the month when the fewer billing fish have been captured.
Meanwhile, during the summer, fishing is great. Los Cabos’ famous Fishing tournament season Starts in June and takes place the first week of November. Last year, July was the month when the most invoicing was captured. The month of August and September were not as good for the bill, but these months provide advanced conditions for snorkeling and diving, thanks to warmer water temperatures and optimal visibility.
Surfing conditions on the Sea of corties beaches Also attendance during the summer. Do you see a trend here? Many outdoor activities for which Los Cabos is the most associated presents their best conditions during all or part of the summer season. Given this fact, you might think that the rates of these activities are higher. On the contrary, on the contrary: as the hotel prices, the prices for activities during the summer are lower than any other time of the year.
Take golf, for example. Golf has not really seasonal. In Los Cabos – Welcome from 18 golf coursesMost of which are world class quality – there is no bad weather to play. But in terms of price, summer is undoubtedly the best time, because the more playable lessons offer offers and discounts.
For example, at Los Cabos PuertoWhere golfers can choose 18 holes from the 27 designed by the main Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman champions, the Tee Tee from November 1 to May 15 was held at US $ 395. From May 16 to June 30, these rates decreased to $ 335 and from July 1 to October 15, they fell to $ 260. It is a discount of 34% of the rates in early May to those in July. In other courses, this is a similar story.
