Traveller notes on La Paz, Baja California in October
Other months in La Paz, Baja California
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.
