Cabo weather in November
November brings a cooling trend to Cabo San Lucas, particularly at night, while afternoons can still be warm. It is a transition toward winter, but the official eastern Pacific hurricane season continues through 30 November. A generally drier feel does not put the whole month outside that calendar.

Rain and seasonal conditions
The station rainfall normal is lower than September’s, but individual wet spells are possible. A monthly average cannot guarantee that an outdoor meal, hike or boat trip will run exactly as planned. Check forecasts close to the day.
Swimming and time on the water
Sailing, snorkeling and beach time may fit a November stay when conditions allow. Confirm recent water temperature, visibility and any equipment you need with the provider. Do not choose a swimming spot solely because the weather feels comfortable on land.
Planning activities in November
Town visits, dining and suitable outdoor excursions can be combined with time by the water. The San José estuary offers a different landscape to the Cabo marina, with public access and activities checked before travel. Wildlife-viewing trips depend on the current authorized season, not simply the arrival of November.
What to pack
Bring light daytime clothing and a sweater or light jacket for evening outings and early starts. Add sun protection, swimwear and comfortable footwear. A light extra layer can matter on a breezy boat return even after a warm afternoon.
Dates, bookings and flexibility
Compare your exact dates around holidays and events. November is not automatically uncrowded or inexpensive, and early booking does not guarantee a discount. Confirm the terms and keep flexibility for a condition-dependent activity.
Compare your options
October is the hotter neighboring comparison. December moves farther into winter with cooler nights and the possibility of holiday-related demand.
