La Paz, Baja California (La Paz) weather in May

Forum posters consistently describe May in Los Cabos as offering typical highs around 89F and lows around 61F, mostly in the mid-80s, with notably low humidity compared to other tropical destinations - a real comfort advantage posters flag repeatedly. Posters are direct that May tends to be windier than other months, with a local worker specifically calling it out as Cabo's windy season; the onshore breeze can turn brisk and cool but posters still generally rate the overall effect as pleasant rather than disruptive. Posters describe sea temperatures around 71F as on the cooler side for swimming this time of year. Posters consistently rate May favorably since spring break crowds have cleared out while school-summer crowds haven't yet arrived, making it a genuine sweet spot for good weather and lighter crowds together.

Forum posters describe August as La Paz's warmest, most humid month, with daytime temperatures commonly cited in the high 90sF and posters noting rain, while possible, actually falls infrequently despite August sitting within the broader May-October hurricane season. Posters describe the mid-August-through-mid-October stretch specifically as when humidity and the chance of a tropical storm both climb, making it something of a gamble rather than a guaranteed washout. Posters do flag a genuine upside: August is a notably quiet, uncrowded time to visit compared to the winter high season. Posters generally rate August as hot and humid with real but modest storm risk for La Paz, appealing mainly to travelers prioritizing low crowds over ideal comfort.

Forum posters call February the coolest month of the year here - comfortable enough to sit on the beach at midday, but the water itself (around 60F) is too cold for most people to enjoy swimming without a wetsuit. The upside: it overlaps with prime whale season nearby (roughly a 3-hour trip), plus Carnaval festivities in town. Regulars say the standard February routine is beach lounging and walking in the sun rather than water time - the pool may be comfortable by midday, but the open water stays a cold-water activity this time of year.
