This is your guide to starting the year with sunshine, comfort, and a completely different energy.
I. Cabo Has the Perfect Warm Weather During the First Months of the Year
While the rest of the world is bundled up, Cabo is enjoying what we call “perfect patio weather.” During the day, temperatures hover around a comfortable 24°C to 27°C (75°F to 80°F). It’s warm enough to spend all day on a boat or at the beach, but without the intense humidity of the summer months.
When the sun goes down, the desert air cools off to a refreshing 15°C to 18°C (60°F to 64°F), making it the ideal time for a light sweater and a seaside walk.
II. Fun Activities to Do in Los Cabos
The beginning of the year is peak season for adventure. Here are some of the activities you can enjoy while you stay in Los Cabos:
Whale Watching (A Must-See Experience): This is the “big event” of the season. These incredible giants migrate along the coast and can be spotted on guided tours or even from the shore.

El Arco (The Arch): No trip is complete without a boat ride to see the iconic rock formation where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific.
Water sports & beach fun: Warm temperatures make it easy to spend your days snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, or simply relaxing on the beach with the sound of the waves and a drink in hand. Cabo’s offers both calm bays and dramatic ocean views, perfect for every travel style.
III. Cabo’s Local Flavor is Next Level

IV. Travel Tips When Coming to Los Cabos
- Pack Wisely: For the day, pack swimsuits, cover-ups, high-SPF sunscreen (the desert sun is stronger than it feels!), and a good hat. And for the Night, a light jacket or a stylish hoodie.
- Stay Hydrated: The desert sun is sneaky. Even if it doesn’t feel “hot” because of the breeze, you need to drink plenty of water. This is why we offer free water on arrival in all our rides.
