Traveller notes on Huatulco in November
Notes from nearby Oaxaca (143 km away)
Huatulco doesn't have its own notes for November yet — these are about Oaxaca, close enough to share the season.
Oaxaca's forum rates November among the best months for climate — the rainy season is over, humidity is down, and the hills are still green from summer's rains rather than dried out. Regulars put highs around 82°F with cooler nights near 49°F, calling evenings genuinely chilly enough for a sweater despite warm, pleasant days.
Go for the first two days of November — Día de Muertos is the reason, and the weather (dry, 26°C, cool nights) is a bonus. Book a year out or accept a room forty minutes away. The rest of November is quiet and just as pleasant.
Other months in Huatulco
Huatulco's forum calls February about as reliable as Mexico's coast gets — one long-time visitor logged years of early-February trips with only a handful of rainy days each time, and regulars rate it the safest bet on the coast for hot, sunny, dry weather. The water stays warm from December through February too, so swimming is comfortable start to finish.
