The Best Season for a Los Cabos Elopement

The dry, sunny winter high season, the warm shoulders with whales offshore, and the humid green of the late-summer rains. A Baja desert coast whose seasons follow the sun and the storms.

You assume the desert coast is warm and sunny all year.

It mostly is, but the season decides the whales, the humidity, and the storms.

Los Cabos has a real season, and the winter window gives clear skies and grey whales offshore that summer never will.

Winter and the shoulders

November through May is the dry, sunny high season: clear skies, low humidity, comfortable heat, and the most reliable light. December through April adds grey and humpback whales offshore, visible from the coast during a ceremony.

It is the peak, and the best dates book a year out.

Summer and the rains

June through October runs hot and humid, with the September-to-October hurricane-season risk and afternoon storms. It is quieter and cheaper, and the desert greens after the rain, but it rewards flexibility and a weather plan.

Pick the window for the conditions you want, then hand me the date. As your Elopement Curator I track the weather and the whale season, arrange the vendors, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the season here is a real decision, and I make it with you.
