Cabo San Lucas Weather in February

February holds steady with January's dry desert pattern: highs of 77.1°F, lows around 63°F, and less than one rain day on average, genuinely one of the driest months anywhere on this site.

Humidity dips slightly to 62%, the lowest reading of the year, keeping the air feeling crisp and comfortable for a desert destination.

Sea temperature actually dips to its lowest point of the year in February at 71.3°F, the coolest water of the year here, a reminder that Cabo's Pacific-facing waters run meaningfully cooler than the Caribbean even in the middle of winter.

This is prime humpback whale season, February sits right in the heart of the December-through-April window, with strong, consistent sighting odds from boat tours out of the marina, and calving activity often visible close to shore.

No hurricane activity has been recorded historically in February; like January, it's a completely safe month on that front.

February overlaps with Presidents' Day week for US travelers, adding a real crowd bump to an already-busy high season, book resorts, whale tours and popular restaurants ahead of time.

Golf conditions remain excellent through February, and this is also a strong month for hiking or ATV tours into the desert interior, since the mild temperatures make the exposed, sun-baked terrain far more manageable than it would be in summer.

Some years bring Carnival-season events to nearby Baja towns and mainland Mexico in February, though Cabo's own celebrations are modest, worth checking local listings rather than building a trip around it.

Against January, February is essentially the same weather with marginally cooler water and slightly higher crowds from the Presidents' Day travel bump, a close call between the two months either way.

Pack layers for the cool mornings and evenings, plus a wetsuit top if you want to swim or snorkel longer than a quick dip, given the cooler sea temperature.
