Averaged from the last five years of December readings — a guide to what to expect, not a forecast for a particular sailing.
Cabo San Lucas sits at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the desert runs straight into the sea and the granite arch of El Arco marks the meeting of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez. It is a standard stop on Mexican Riviera itineraries, with dry sunshine most of the year, sport-fishing charters, and a marina lined with restaurants and beach clubs.
Cabo San Lucas in December offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 79°F and comfortable lows near 59°F. Rain is uncommon, with only about 1 rainy days expected across the month, ideal for beach days and shore excursions. Cool desert evenings, dry and sunny days
This is one of the most popular months to visit Cabo San Lucas, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.
